We're still about 18 million under the luxury tax. Honestly didn't realize we still had that much room.
Gonna be criminal if we fail to use that 10 mil TPE for someone useful. No excuse

TPEs create a lot of discussion, but their "value" is way overrated. They are a tool to facilitate a trade (bypass the matching rule) but in itself, that has no value.

In another era, TPE's helped because some teams would be desperate to give up "salary." But today's rules rarely leave teams desperate anymore. If they are giving a player away, it's the guy who can't help them. Mavs already have plenty like that.

What do you get for a TPE only today? You are looking at players so mediocre that the other team will just offer to give them away and hope you take them. The Mavs need much better than that.
