Like if Curry took $4 mil instead of $4.5 we could use the $12.4 MLE.
But for the roster to make any sense we need to get off of THJ's money anyway though. Hopefully can turn him into a larger forward or better quality center
One other issue on the Hard Cap is that the Full MLE also hard caps teams at the first apron... so MLE or BAE doesn't really matter.
Obviously nothing is official, should Dallas say, decide to S&T Wood, they could shift to use TPMLE on Curry and be allowed above the apron - not that I believe This is the Way but options are still available UNTIL the Curry contract goes up for approval to the league office and the Mavs declare which exception they are exercising.
