2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[omahen]

That's all well and good for flexibility, but to your bolded point, that all falls apart if you give DFS and Brunson large multi-year deals. 

There are rumors that 2023 cap space might be around 150 mil with new TV deal. Luka, KP and THJ have roughly 90 mil guaranteed in 2023. Add 20 mil for DFS and Brunson combined. Personally I think this is their value based on last season performance and their ceiling. I don't think they will get much more on free agency market unless they have phenomenal seasons. Add another 10 mil for smaller contracts combined that might be on the roster (Green, Terry, Brown,...) and Mavs still have roughly 30 mil of cap space.
