2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[Mavs2021]

The other thing to account for is 2022.  We shouldn’t lose him over pay.  We can pay whatever we wish.  But, if he doesn’t want to be the next Jet Terry, and really wants to be a starter, then we might lose him over role.

I´d agree 100% with this statement, if we didn´t have so many extension coming up. Let´s say things work out well this summer.

We trade Powell +Burke +Terry for Markkanen 84/4

Extend THJ and Richardson 56/4 each.

Luka extension 150/5 whatever that max will be.

Dorian 50/4 + Brunson 50/4

Now your 2022 pay-roll roughly looks like this:

Porzingis 34
Luka 30
Markkanen 21
THJ 14
Richardson 14
Brunson 12.5
DFS 12.5
Kleber 9
Green 3

Over 150M for nine guys.

These are pretty fair numbers, even so this sh*t gonna be expensive. You can even allow THJ or Richardson to walk, you´ll still need a MLE replacement, which hardly saves you money. Or you can just ignore Markkanen, but then you still paying Powell + Burke. Not that much of a difference either.

Cuban better be ready to spend money soon.
