DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Scott41theMavs]

This seems to say (and MacMahon confirms) the Mavs are not going to compromise the ability to offer a MAX free agent in 2021.

That would make sense but if we dump Wright we could probably spend MLE this summer and still have a max space in 2021?

The Mavs cannot worry about 2021 capspace. Everyone saw Luka's interview. You have to build a team for next year to avoid rightfully pissing off Luka, but you have to do it in such a way that every non-Luka contract can be traded in the summer of 2021 to create room if need be. That means, THJ, Wright, and Powell have to go by any means necessary, and zero of the contracts brought in 1) are overpays if they extend past 2021, or 2) extend past 2021 if they are overpays.
