I am way ok with the Mavs betting on Brunson and DFS with long term deals. That's probably my favorite option. But, I don't think Cuban will pay a tax next season, so that would require others to be moved (thought not until next season's trade deadline, I guess).
I am ok with the idea of moving one or both in a deal that has something helpful coming back, but I don't think Cuban will pay a tax next season, so I have a hard time seeing that happen.
I am ok with the idea of letting one or both go to other teams and recouping some value through sign and trade, though I think this might be unlikely for the same cap reasons. Maybe something small, just to allow a room team to maximize their flexibility, but at that point how much of an improvement is it to just allowing them to walk? I guess we'll see.
I am absolutely not ok with letting either DFS, Brunson or both (two of their top 4-5 players, anyway you slice it) walk away in free agency with nothing returning, and I kid you not, I feel like that's what we're headed towards. Cap room '23 is about to be the plan. It's plain as day. I hope I'm wrong.
