Still thinking that the best and maybe only option to upgrade the roster is a Johnson + picks deal.
THJ and Richardson are both proving their on court value and I would prefer to resign them. Using Johnsons contract is simply smart asset management. Mavs can stay over the cap and add one more rotation piece on a longterm deal without losing THJ and/or Richardson. Basically adding one more high impact rotation player without losing anyone that is part of the longterm plans.
Losing Johnson would hurt but it´s not like the Mavs could not try to get him back in the summer if they really like him. Depending on the cap situation the Mavs will have the BAE, MLE or at least the tax-payer MLE.
