True.

My point is that Dallas has a significant financial advantage over the next 3 years because they have cheap superstars.

Roster construction will become increasingly challenging when that window closes.

Maybe we get lucky and draft a generational talent with similarly low cost in the coming years. Or maybe not.

I’m amazed at San Antonio’s situation, as well. Several very high-level players on cheap contracts.

But eventually, they’ll get “OKC’d” or “Nuggeted” and expensive.

Yeah but getting OKC'd or Nuggeted is based on their superstars being on their 3rd contract.  If you look at most of the greats (especially recently) they won on their second contracts.  Its very difficult for a superstar to win a championship on their rookie contracts.  They are generally very young and usually start on a team that needs a lot of help (and Flagg is no different).  If you are looking for a reasonable financial window for when the Mavs go for it, it would be Flagg's second contract.
