They only have seven guaranteed contracts, the full MLE, a forthcoming trade exception for Lowry (and maybe also Dragic), $10.5 million in cap room and a well-regarded front office.
Meanwhile, there are some big names on the block and trade-season is just warming up.
Bottom line, Masai Ujiri is no idiot. He didn't trade Lowry and take on all that salary just to land Achiuwa. Toronto has lots of options and they're evaluating the field before they finalize anything. Dragic wants to land in Dallas and he very likely will ...but it's going to take some time for Toronto to get it's ducks in a row before they limit any of their options.
Nope. Marc Stein is the most trusted Mavs insider and said the Mavs won't take on the 19 million in salary. They might have it worked out if he is bought out, but they won't trade for him. If you saw what happened with Kemba Walker, then there is no reason to do so.
