Coon's FAQ unravels the CBA rules. But these are negotiated exceptions to the CBA rules, and therefore to the FAQ, due to the circumstances. As I noted previously, in light of the covid alteration to the past NBA schedule, the NBA and NBPA jointly agreed to alter some dates and deadlines to be consistent to the spirit of the rules, rather than blindly adhere to the letter of the CBA. This has been happening all along and we have seen it many times before, over the past two years, not just regarding the playing schedule but also in relation to dates and deadlines.
However they did not publicly announce WHICH rules, nor give a public list of new dates, so we have been left to find them bit by bit. As it turns out, TPE expiration dates are one of those changes. In general, since the NBA season started later than usual last summer, they are being set to run one NBA year, not one calendar year.
TLDR version: June 27 is when the Mavs TPE will expire.
