With the cap expected to go down, it makes Barnes' contract even more unstomachable for me.
3 more years with 23, 20, and 18 left. It goes down which is an attractive feature, but I still don't think Barnes is worth 23 million to play 4th fiddle when we can just have DFS do the same exact thing on 20 million less. I do think Wright as an asset is our best bet at finding a 3rd option though.
On the other hand if THJ keeps it up we may not even need a 3rd option...
Quick edit: With that being said, I still wouldn't mind seeing Barnes return to the Mavs in the future (probably after his current contract). I think he could be a great 4th option, and he's an all around great dude. There are some concerns about playstyles with him and Luka, given how Barnes exceeds on iso's and post ups. But if he were to comeback he wouldn't be given that many opportunities. I just think for what he's always brought to the table, he's been severely overpaid, and as soon as he can get paid 10-12 million I'd be all for him.
