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.
I think we are at about $165mm or about $7mm over the apron currently when you count McGee and Hardy. The beauty of the THJ for Burks/Lee deal is it reduces salary down to just over $157mm. From there is is much easier to create a deal where we send out more salary than we take back and end below the apron after the deal.
