From my quick math the Mavs are about 7 mil below the 1st apron for next year and just a hair under the tax line. I'd put DJJ's offensive production and defensive ability at a max of 10 mil a year.
Just playing with cap numbers to see potential avenues...
If we could manufacture a trade of THJ+Hardy (combined ~18mil) to bring back a guy making roughly 12 mil a year, we'd be able to carve out the full NT-MLE that we could theoretically split into 2 guys.
The tax MLE is around 5.5 mil. I really don't think DJJ is signing for that (not that he'd have to, just throwing out that that number seems to low for DJJ to get excited).
If the Mavs stand pat and don't do anything this summer other than resign DJJ the most they could offer is around 7mil and stay right below the 1st apron (but become a tax paying team). My numbers may be a bit off. I've seen the Mavs have up to 10.1 mil of NT-MLE available and as low as 6.5 NT-MLE. Conservative estimate I did with my calculator is 7.1mil accounting for empty roster charges. That'd put a deal for DJJ at 3 years 22 mil. It seems pretty low for him honestly.
Guys who are hovering right around 12 mil a year or less that the Mavs could have interest in:
Thybulle (11)
Terance Mann (11.4)
Caruso (9.8)
