Maybe Cuban eats a bad tax this year, and then goes cheapskate?

Not against a THJ trade scenario but I think that is the driving force behind roster decisions right now. Reducing the payroll. And that´s also my concern.
THJ has negative trade value. Is overpaid and as streaky as it gets when it comes to his on court production. But just moving him for the sake of salary relief isn´t going to improve the roster. THJ for air would make the Mavs worse in the longrun. And it´s not like it opens a realistic window for capspace anytime soon.

If they trade him for an expiring and don´t extend/resign the Mavs simply lost a rotation player without any longterm replacement. We could hope that it would open up some money under the tax line to bring back Wood but that´s not a given.
