Diamond Powell! All Things Dwight - Act V Broken Wings

[SleepingHero]

Has anyone explained how Powell’s contract doesn’t compromise the MLE as it says on that message?

Mavs just need to stay below 172.3 overall team salaries (and have 12 mil below that so 160) in order to use the full MLE. 

Current team salaries that include both Lively+OMax, and all current FA signings: 160,353,630

Full MLE is 12.6. Current MLE space: 11.9. So Powell's deal does technically compromise the full MLE space, but obviously they aren't done making moves, and it's relatively simple to get 700k more space (although they'll probably need to shed at least McGee+THJ).
