"...the Warriors are hard-capped, standing just $374,924 from that line. While the team has an open roster spot, there is near-zero flexibility to use it — barring other moves, Golden State can’t even sign a player for the rest of the season until March 7. That, in turn, matters because the Warriors have used nearly all the 2-way days of guards Damion Lee and Ky Bowman. Lee has seven service days left and Bowman has nine, so by mid-January they will be tapped out...
...They can get breathing room from the hard cap by trading one of their veterans on an expiring deal (Alec Burks and Willie Cauley-Stein are the names you’ll hear the most often), but this scenario likely requires them to wait well past Jan. 15 and leave one of their two-way spots unfilled."
The player to watch for the Mavs is Willie Cauley-Stein
