I'm looking at him like an expiring contract as an ASSET. Yes, letting him expire is valuable, but only if it creates cap space. Since we're rapidly approaching a world in which the chances of acquiring a free agent good enough to justify losing BOTH Richardson AND THJ aren't great, I'd say we're approaching a world in which the Mavs are officially operating over the cap.
In that scenario, I'd call letting Johnson expire a "loss" because you'd be losing the ability to add salary (while over the cap) at his contractual level...that's my point. Again, I thought I was agreeing with your point, so I might have misunderstood.
I was reffering to the part where you said resigning Johnson is kind of a win.
