2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Jym]

Just want to point out that the best time for the Mavs to make a trade will be draft night...

I feel pretty confident saying we're going into the 2021 offseason without adding any extra salary short of our draft pick(s)

Why do that? Giannis likes the Bucks organization and can make tens of millions more by staying with them rather than leaving by the current CBA. Is the CBA changing between now and then? Are there a number of other players willing to forego tens of millions to play with the Mavs in 2021 because our organization is just that attractive?

The Clippers and the Lakers didn't have cap room. Nor did Miami this TDL. Many other teams with far better front offices are planning on having cap room in 2021. History tells us that 2021 free agency is going to be a gruesomely bloody faceplant for the Mavs. No reasonable reason to expect anything different, if cap room is the plan.

To be clear I don't think that's the correct thing to do. 
We're at a clear disadvantage against the top teams when we're not poking around the luxury tax, if not actually in it. 
Just stating what I think they'll do based on how they've positioned themselves this trade deadline 

In a perfect world Cuban is willing to pay the luxury tax associated with having the highest payroll but I dont think we have that Cuban anymore
