For the why does it matter if we are talking about the Mavs part. Players like Wood and SD are cheaper than players from the Middleton/Holiday tier. Just like other players that are getting thrown into the mix. Collins is cheaper than Siakam but also comes with more question marks.
In the summer the Mavs will have three first round picks available. Looking at past trades that´s enough for one Middleton/Holiday tier player. Could be enough to get into the conversation for Siakam. That´s an all in trade. And goes along with max salary. Meaning that unless the max find a way to dump contracts Cuban will have to pay luxury tax. Something he has been reluctant to do.
