True.
My point is that Dallas has a significant financial advantage over the next 3 years because they have cheap superstars.
Roster construction will become increasingly challenging when that window closes.
Maybe we get lucky and draft a generational talent with similarly low cost in the coming years. Or maybe not.
I’m amazed at San Antonio’s situation, as well. Several very high-level players on cheap contracts.
But eventually, they’ll get “OKC’d” or “Nuggeted” and expensive.
