@"KillerLeft"
I am mostly responding to anyone who wants a shot at Giannis or another player next summer in free agency by saying the Mavs do NOT need to clear space now.
Getting off contracts now should be in no way a priority of any kind UNLESS you are targeting capspace THIS offseason (which is possible). If the Mavs are wanting to be a player next summer then just continue to Acquire Talented Trade-able Assets through the draft, through free agency with exceptions, and through trades. But do not "clear space"...way too premature for that IMO. You can clear space WHEN you need it as long as you have talented, trade-able assets.
