100%. It´s also a difficult salary match and gets even better for the Mavs after July 1st. Before July 1st it´s 44M vs. THJ/Bertans 37M, after it would be 47M vs. 35M, so we can add more bad contracts.
Given how desperate LeBron is and how big that contract is, it´s virtually impossible to lose a Westbrook trade.
In 2023 we´d have only our top 5 core players under guaranteed contracts, but Bullock and Dinwiddie would be partial guaranteed expirings. We´d have all our future draft picks, too. We suddenly have a legit threat to generate max capspace and/or facilitate trades.
