IZTOK DIAGNOSES DECLINE OF MAVS OFFENSE

[omahen]

IF they are willing to go into tax, its hard to imagine more than a full MLE signing and then paying whatever they have to for Brunson/DFS.  Not sure how much sense that makes if they don't make it out of the play-in this year.

If they hand out full MLE they are a subject to hard cap. So full MLE is very unlikely in any scenario where DFS and or Brunson stay. It is actually very unlikely in any scenario.

I think trading DFS and or Brunson with another salary (Powell, THJ or similar) for a really good player on a longer term deal that fits next to Luka and KP solves a lot of issues for Mavs. If of course there would be such a deal on the table.
