I am also very interested in this discussion (do we need a separate thread @"Kammrath")?
I have look at the salary cap over and over and its hard for me to picture how the Mavs would get out of paying tax next year. They would have had to have known this was in the cards for 1 year. My guess is that they planned to do tax one year and get out of it before year 2 to avoid the repeater penalties.
In 2023 they have 20 mil in marginal talent coming off the books, the tax line will be higher, THJ's salary will be lower or they might move him but there is still Maxi, DFS, JB that might be getting new deals between now and then.
