Even if this isn’t the year, the Mavs really should have done something so as not to waste the Lee expiring or the exception. Maybe someone with more knowledge of the NBA’s cap rules can explain that there is still some way to use those assets now that the trade deadline has passed, but if not, then we have a problem. Now that Powell is pretty much done, the Mavs will have to scramble during the offseason, without much ammo, just to get back to where they during the first half of this season. Once Luka is through his rookie deal, he’ll only play for the team that gives him the best chance to win. I hope the Mavs are up to that task. They have a long ways to go and a short time to get there.
