MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

Stein said a few other interesting things.

Mavs probably don’t have enough to trade for Allen IF Cleveland decided to move him.

Mavs having trouble finding Hardaway takers.

Also mentioned Mavs would be open to helping facilitate the Dame trade but it kind of felt like a “mavs would be doing their jobs” sort of answer, nothing really concrete

Thanks.  My biggest fear is they don't have any trade lined up for Hardaway or others.  Or at least legit things in motion.  Hardaway is a good/solid player.   I wouldn't call it a win just to get off of him without that leading to a similar level player.

I am also worried that we are just waiting and hoping on restricted free agents.  

I want to hope they got things in the works, but that brings me back to previous summers where it ended in disappointment.

Regarding Bamba, I may be in favor of giving him a smaller contract than Thybulle at the full MLE.  But I really haven't thought much about it.   If the Mavs are fans of his (or at least what he could be), I am sure they can wink wink him that we would have minutes for him.  I guess what I am saying is he would be an interesting low cost gamble.

So, I was brave enough to bring up "hard cap" in a fourth of July gathering last night despite not knowing what it means. I have not been brave enough to bring up DroppingDimes20 yet
