If he doesn't, they have to get off of his $30+M salary. DP's overpay is also going to be uncomfortable too, so they will want to elevate his value and be able to move him, I think, especially if they keep KP.
Makes sense that they would throttle back a little to prep for future seasons.
If cap considerations are such that we are already at a virtual cap threshold, then it would seem using the trade exception may not be doable, unless we first trade Dwight Powell.
And can you believe he’s going to be the 3rd highest paid Mav this season? Barf. I like him as a person and a player, but when it’s put like that it really hits ya upside the head how overpaid he is.
The 6M guaranteed next year is quite a riddle too.
Thank you Donnie.
