Which adds a significant layer of interest to this AD argument we've been having for weeks. The prospect of such immediate and "easy" salary relief is almost enough to move someone from one side of that war to the other, frankly, but we don't KNOW that reducing salary is a goal the Mavs have.
Ironically, for all my complaining about how cheap Cuban got, learning that the Adelsons were ready to spend hundreds of millions over the next few seasons that could and probably should be avoided...I'm not sure if that would make me feel better or worse about the new Mavs reality.
