Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Mavs2021]

@KeithSmithNBA
Pistons can get to nearly $21M in cap space just by renouncing their free agents, minus Jalen Duren.

There are other waivers and salary-shedding moves Detroit could do to get up over $30M in cap space.

They'd also have the $9.4M Room Exception to use if they go with cap space.

That´s great for them and sucks for the Mavs, cause that means they can slightly overpay the MLE for all these guys we are probably targeting, while also self-capping the contract of guys like Simons, White, Sexton, Powell etc. Pretty smart actually and the next violent outbreak Stewart has will probably get him banned for 30% of the season.
