He's unsigned because no one wants to give him that much money.

Green, Curry
Luka, THJ
G.Will, Maxi, OMax
Wood, Powell, Lively

From where we are now, replacing Holmes with Wood makes a lot of sense.  We'd be giving 1 more year to fit in, or we don't exercise the TO next year.

OKC has a gazillion players under contract now. According to Spotrac, they had 19 players even before this deal. Gay will be waived for sure. I wonder which of the youngsters are also going out.

My guess is he will get 4/$75 million, BUT it can't be a straight S&T because Charlotte has to make enough room under the cap to fit his 1st year salary to prevent it from becoming BYC. IF BYC hits they can only take back 50% of the salary and that would take teams like Dallas (hard capped) out of the equation. While I don't think Charlotte is desperate to stay under the cap, the deals have to keep them under the TAX far enough to sign Oubre.

I need to look at OKC roster.  There is no way they can keep everyone and they have a lot of fringe guys who would interest me.

Heck, I would entertain the notion of helping with a sign and trade if we got a 2nd (or got rid of McGee too) and stay under the tax line (I think the Mavs should stay under the tax this year to put off the repeater tax as long as possible).

(07-08-2023, 05:32 PM)SleepingHero Wrote: Waiving an NBA player is a last resort move. It gives the team who is waiving said player absolutely no benefits, as the salary still counts against the cap only they can't actually use the player. 

Typically waiving happens right at the end of a contract where the penalty is over by June and doesn't affect the team long term. Waiving Holmes does absolutely ZERO. Let me repeat. Waiving Holmes at any point right now gives absolutely no benefit to the Mavs as his 12 mil is still counted on the salary sheet for this year AND next year.

If anything waiving Holmes would put the Mavs in a worse position given that they now have 12 mil of dead cap, lost a rotation player, and need to stay under 172 mil while replacing Holmes and whatever else they need.

Thanks.  Point taken.  Under the CBA, what are our options to resign Wood?
