Actually this could be a very clever negotiation strategy by the Mavs.
A) generate a TPE above MLE level.
B) try to convince value S&T targets to accept a 3year (due to S&T) salary that fits into TPE ("we'd love to pay you more, but we just can't")
Ensures that player/agent need to make a yes/no decision rather than trying to squeeze for more salary.
