This is a couple of days old, but here is what Bobby Marks has to say about the Dallas off-season.
Dallas Mavericks
Projected room: $20 million
Who returns: Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, Dwight Powell, Josh Richardson (option exercised), Maxi Kleber, Dorian Finney-Smith, Willie Cauley-Stein (option exercised), Josh Green, Trey Burke, Jalen Brunson and Tyrell Terry
Who might be gone: Tim Hardaway Jr., JJ Redick, Nicolo Melli and Boban Marjanovic
Other charges: None
The 2021 offseason presents an opportunity for Dallas to maximize cap flexibility, with Doncic heading into the final year of his rookie-scale contract.
By releasing the cap holds of free agents Redick and Hardaway, Dallas projects to have $20 million in cap space. If
Richardson opts out of his $11.6 million contract and the $4.1 million team option of Cauley-Stein is not exercised, the Mavericks could have up to $33.5 million.
Because the cap in 2022-23 is projected to increase slightly ($112 million to $115 million), the Mavericks would still have $22 million if they punt on free agency this offseason, factoring in a max extension for Doncic.
