The Mavericks now have the resources, starting with a likely lottery pick (and a late first) and financial/roster resources to build their roster around Cooper Flagg.
Dallas has $150M in guaranteed money next year, well below the tax and apron.
For this season, Dallas drops below the luxury tax and both aprons.
They have flexibility in the next 24 hours to continue building up their draft assets.
