Here is why I think Mavs have to consolidate roster. Combined salaries for players that play less than 20 min per game . I set this value to represent a margin between fringe and rotation players. Contenders vs Dallas:
Brooklyn: 8 mil (due to all injuries to their stars reserves play more)
Denver: 20 mil
LAC: 18 mil (Kennard just barely missed 20 minutes, Rondo also)
LAL: 12 mil
Mil: 17 mil (Tucker takes half of this)
Phi: 13 mil
Pho: 19 mil
Uta: 17,9 (more than half is taken by Favors)
Dal: 42 mil! As long as cap is wasted as it is it will be real difficult to compete...
