McCollum LeBron Vucevic
Simons T. Harris M. Robinson
Sexton Hachimura Landale
C. White K. Ellis

P. Watson
B. Mathurin
T. Eason
Trade options with the TPE or MLE:
Josh Hart $20.9M
Monk $20.2M
Curuso $19.5M
Nembhard $19.5M
Dort $18.2M (TO)
G. Allen $18.1M
Strus $16.6M
Schroder $14.8M
Lavert $14.8M
Moody $12.5M
Isaiah Joe $11.3M
Nesmith $11.0M
McConnell $11.0M
A. Black $10.1M
I don't mean to imply that all of the UFA's will accept that little or that some of the lower tier will cost that much, just the list of names available.
I don't mean to imply that the RFA's are available or realistic gets, just that they are restricted free agents.
I don't mean to imply that the players listed in the TPE/MLE trade section means the other team will be willing to trade them to get off their money, or that the Mavs should go after them, just that they fit in the salary slot available to the Mavs.
Of course, there are a number of SnT/Trade options out there but didn't feel the need to get into all of that.
Knowing the names now, who and why should the Mavs prioritize this summer?
That list of wings is ugly. I like some of the RFA guys. A big question is does this team need a 6th man type player? I wonder if Kyrie won't transition into that role in a year or two? I also wonder if any of the good ones will be available for the MLE? Normally the MLE is a great way to get 3&D guys, but there are not a lot on your list.
