EXTENSION: Gobert signs 5yr/$205M w/ UTA | DAL "significant interest" if available

[Jason Terry]

The Gobert Plan only works if Mark is fine with going well above the tax line for a few years. Nothing he’s done as owner would suggest he wouldn’t do that for a contender. And recent history has shown us how easy it is to move “untradeable” contracts

You don’t do it like the 76ers did without a real plan. You would plan it out in advance to avoid the repeater tax. Our current roster(and moves we made) have set this up though. Final move this year is dump Powell

2021-22

Luka on his last year of rookie contract
DFS last cheap year

Because of this and the expirings we have more space than we will ever have. It makes sense to load up

Max slot and Richardson caphold will both fit.

1. Re-sign Hardaway to a team friendly deal(donnie works his father and tells him this the only way he gets to stay) $10-12 million a year
2. Sign Gobert
3. With cap space now already spent, we re-sign Richardson and go over the cap

2022 offseason
1. Luka max kicks in
2. DFS gets a big raise

Luka/Brunson
Richardson/Terry
THj/DFS/Green
KP/DFS/Maxi
Gobert/Maxi

I don’t see any realistic scenarios where we can accumulate more talent than this. This also lets us keep our picks to make trades to improve on top of these guys
