And then this happens:

Which flies in the face of plan powder. We heard this same thing earlier in the year but I wasn't sure if that was just posturing on part of the Mavs. How can you get a max FA if THJ is on the books?
I think you would have to dump both Powell and Wright to have a shot at a max FA assuming that Tim's salary is similar to what it is now. I do believe Powell's extension shows you the framework of what they would do. I think THJ's salary would be basically the same as an opt-in and then he'd probably get another 3 years with small raises. Wright's salary + Powell in 2021 is curiously close to what THJ's could be. Wright and Powell combined in 2021 are 19.5M and I think THJ with a similar raise structure to Powell would be just over 19M in 2021.
Otherwise how can we believe all this Giannis talk? Even if you dump Wright, 19 mil of THJ + 11 mil of Powell cuts too much into your cap space.
