These are the numbers to keep in mind, save, write down, etc.
$16,235,142 Luxury Tax Room
$23,477,557 First Apron Space
$12,117,171 Non-taxpayer Mid-Level remaining
$21,080,154 Anthony Davis TPE available
The Mavs absolutely can NOT exceed the first apron this season, at any point. They can go into the tax; however, I think that's very unlikely.
One thing of note... The Mavs only have ~$12.1m remaining of the MLE to use as a signing/trade exception, but up to ~$16.2m below the Tax.
Who falls in the $12.2m-$16.2m range, where preserving that AD TPE was crucial in allowing them to go over the MLE number, but stay below the tax line...
One blinking red light is Nikola Jovic at exactly $16.2m.
Terance Mann is another name that's less mentioned at $15.5m.
Dennis Schroder of course, $14.8m
Scoot Henderson $13.6m
Moses Moody $12.5m
Jarred Vanderbilt $12.4m
These are just simple trades where the player is received via AD TPE. Of course, the $$ spread would be different if any player is outgoing.
