He'd be on the books in 21-22 for 44m. Other Mavs contracts in 21-22:
KP - 32.6m
DP - 11m
Wright - 8.5m
Maxi - 8.75m
Luka - 10m (Team Option)
Seth - 8.1m
DFS - 4m
Brunson - 1.8m (not fully guaranteed).
Total with Pual: ~129m
Giannis with the an extension with the Bucks would be 5yr, 253m. I think he can make 37.5m in free agency otherwise.
Projected CAP is 125m. Luxury Tax Threshold is 151m.
You also need to pay Luka going forward. I don't see Giannis leaving the Bucks and in the off chance he does, would he really come to Dallas?
