Max 4-year total with a new team $120,845,265.
NOTE for Loki - re the idea of Mavs trading with NY to move their owed 2023 pick to another year:
(a) after 2021 draft has ended, no rule would prevent such a trade, if the teams wanted to do so, and it could be as simple as trading Dallas's 2022 pick (with whatever protections are negotiated on the 2022 pick) for its 2023 pick
(b) trading to essentially move an already-traded pick is something that might be new (don't recall ever seeing it), which makes it extremely far-fetched the teams would consider it -- and perhaps doubly so, as Mavs don't have a tendency to come up with new rules-stretching ideas
© it also feels like Mavs want talented prospects to be able to develop sooner, not later, in light of their team trajectory with Luka
