I agree very much with Dr. Mav's post, aside from his third point. Dinwiddie is fine for next year at least. This offseason is about upgrading center and adding a third 3-and-D wing so that DFS and Bullock don't need to play 40 mpg.
My prediction for the offseason at this point is 1) BPA in the draft (if they aren't going to use the pick to move THJ's contract for something that fits better or just to clear salary), 2) somehow acquiring Holmes into our TPE, or signing Hartenstein to the tax MLE (why not both?), 3) making a minor trade using end of the bench guys to try to address the third 3-and-D issue, and 4) being opportunistic with vet min additions. Oh, and yeah, Brunson.
I can't imagine we are going to use the pick just to dump Timmy's salary. That would be making this team objectively worse simply to avoid paying tax. I don't think there would be a valid asset building argument to make that move. If Cuban does something like that, it will be clear he is more worried about his pocket book than winning championships.
