Honestly. If Giannis signs the supermax the best moves the Mavs can do in terms of capspace and asset management need to happen ASAP.
A THJ contract extension makes sense for both him and the team. He played the best basketball of his career next to Luka.
Same for Richardson if he is the player we all hope he can be this season. Problem is that as far as I know he isn´t eligible for an extension and probably expects a bigger contract next summer. If he opts in he is available for an extension next summer but the Mavs could only offer up to 20% more than he previously made. No reason for him to go for it if he can easily get a Grant like 4/80 deal as a FA.
No matter what they do. If the Mavs want to keep both they won´t have the capspace for another impact player.
The Mavs obviously still have the trade market but with limited assets it will be difficult to add a 3rd star or quality starter.
