AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

Mavs position right now, assuming Kyrie at max, limits them to taxpayer MLE. Mavs can clear some space to get the bigger one, but it's depressing to see what they are left to work with and all the holes they would have to fill.

I would assume they would waive Bertans, but McGee would still be kept as a useless bench sitter.

So their usable roster heading into the summer would be Kleber and a bunch of guards (Luka, Kyrie, THJ, Bullock, Green, Hardy). That's it.

That's a core that's undersized, lacking defense, and can't rebound. Ugh.

What can they do from there? Not much. The cap says their summer roster additions to fill out what they lack would be limited to the big MLE, pick 10, and a bunch of minimums. That lands them just a hair under the apron. Not good, unless they can make a useful trade or three to change the situation considerably.

You are forgetting the monster package we are going to get when we S&T Superstar Wood.
