Just need to end the offseason being under that 156.9 apron. Mavs are currently right at it with roughly ~155 mil in salary. Dan has been throwing around his new favorite trade of turning THJ into Burks+trash to open up space to accommodate a SnT. I don't like that route mainly because I don't value Burks at all.
Realistically Sexton is going to demand at least 16-17 a year. Mavs need to clear then about that much (I.E Bertans, THJ, or a combo of others) for nothing to open up a Sexton trade.
Difficult? Sure. But not impossible.
Let's just say no, we can't. You think the Mavs should trade away assets to trade THJ (even more for bertans) into air, then use that for the right to send assets to CLE for the right to sign Sexton for that contract? Ugh. that is a whole level of crap that makes me sick just thinking about. No way that is even close to worth it.
Why not just pick up Bledsoe/Schroder for cheap? Dragic situation looks like more of a fail if this was the backup option. UGH!
