I think the Mavs will definitely try to operate over the cap to keep their own MLE and that $10.8M TPE. Only way I see them going under the cap, if they have a premium top target and want to avoid any f*ckery.
Still trying to understand why they would operate over the cap? Over the cap you have THJ + TPE + MLE. That is roughly 33 mil in value requiring you to hold onto THJ and limiting you on the other two.
If we go under the cap we currently have 30 in cap plus the room. We are not stuck with THJ and have a lot more room to maneuver with the spending. Plus it will be very easy to create more cap space by dumping one or more of the many centers we currently have. You could probably dump WCS for air if necessary and a Powell for Dragic trade does not work over the cap, but means you got Dragic for 8 mil and still have 22 left.
I feel like it will take a lot more work for over the cap to make sense. Maybe if you can send THJ out in an S&T, but those are difficult to do.
