2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[F Gump]

If Mavs dumped THJ with their first how much money would they be able to resign JB while keeping the full MLE and create a big TE or would they need to still dump more money?

1 Send out THJ and pick (in June) with no player coming back -- Mavs receive $21.3M TPE (in July, this would be less.)
2 Existing TPE expires unused
3 Assumes all options are filled -- Franky, Burke, Kleber all included in salary and roster totals
...Mavs start with 13 roster slots filled, total about 135M in salary.
4 Sign player X to full MLE at 10Mish.
5 Sign Brunson to remainder of apron room 10Mish. [oops]

IN THE ABOVE SCENARIO: (a) Mavs are hard capped at the 155M apron. It cannot be exceeded no matter what. (b) After all the above, where they are under the apron including the MLE guy and Brunson, they can make trades (including sign-and-trades) as long as they take back less in salary than they send away.
