Spotrac has Dallas at $154.913 with G-Will and without the Holmes TK, the rookies and Thybulle.  So add,

$7.884 Thybulle
$2.733 O-Max
$4.775 Lively
$1.800 TK for Holmes

$172.105 (rounded)

It doesn’t necessarily mean we are done (though we could be).  We just have to take back less than we send out.  If we get Thybulle, a McGee S/W is in play as we will have 15 players.  At 14, it makes no sense because you have to replace him with a minimum slot.  At 15, we can drop back to 14 with McGee out and not be forced to replace him.

So every proposal we look at from here (assuming we get Thybulle) can take back extra salary up to the benefit of McGee’s S/W OR has to be for less money.  For instance, you can’t trade match THJ and picks for Allen unless you include McGee or S/W him.  Charlotte can complete a THJ for PJ deal, but it has to be as an under the cap deal at up to PJ’s hold of $17.4mm for Charlotte to avoid BYC.  BTW, $17.4mm to start fulfills the reported $18mm/year average over 4 years for PJ.  So, lots of things we can do.  We just have fewer ways to do them if we believe the reported goals of moving on from McGee and THJ.

Mavs could roll-out with Holmes, Lively and DP at C for the regular season.
In the play-offs, most of the minutes at the 5 would be for Maxi and PJ.

How/when did Mavs acquire SRPs?

But the issue with POR having to take matching salary would still be an issue, as would the issue for DAL of whether to go the less expensive route or more expensive route to the same end. Now if POR is willing to take McGee, in a simple 1-for-1, maybe there's room to talk snt.

Stein's been reporting the Mavs have a plan for McGee not being on the roster so that's at least one of the picks gone unless they are planning to use the SW.  I guess it comes down to how much they like Thybulle and who will blink first between Portland and us.  The "good" news no other team is blowing our offer out of the water which means no one trusts the small sample size of his shooting improving in Portland.

Smart and Grant out

Mavs steal O-Max one pick before 

KP in on a 3/90 ?!?!?!?

Celtics lost mental and physical toughness. And are one injury away from disaster. Brown getting close to the full supermax would really put into question if this team is past its peak
