2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[SleepingHero]

According to Cuban, Mavs are hard capped

Don't know what Cuban is talking about. The NBA by definition doesn't have a hard cap, as if that were the case every team would be stuck at 109mm for their salary this year. 

The Mavs sit right at 120 million in salaries,  which is 12 million below the luxury tax, and have 2 trade exceptions to use that's worth combined about 13 million.  Warriors by contrast are sitting at a 138 million in total salary for this year, which is 6 million above the luxury tax. And because they are repeat lux tax offenders, they're getting a 16 million tax bill. Every single dollar matters for the Warriors because right now because every dollar is actually worth 2.75 (and that only gets higher the further they go above the tax), whereas the Mavs have no such restriction.

Delon Wright's trade restriction ends in 6 days, as does half the league who signed contracts over the summer. Mavs also have Courtney Lee, who's 12 million expiring is available to move at any point, as well as THJ's 18 million, though that's much harder to move. The Mavs are in prime position to make about any trade they want, since they have a multitude of contracts to match. BUT the real question is do they really need to given the recent performance?
