If they renounce all capholds they can create a little more than 14m in capspace. If they keep Powell on a vet min only 12m. Obviously could create even more if they move on from Bullock and/or waive Bertans/McGee.
In addition they would have the full MLE and BAE.
Basically starting from scratch. Rebuilding the entire roster. What is the best possible outcome?
I don't think Mavs can continue to hope to build a contender around Luka in this case. I think best way for Mavs in this scenario would be to extract history breaking record package for Luka and start from scratch.
What would happen in reality. Mavs would not admit they screwed up yet another thing and continue to put subpar rosters around Luka until he requests a trade.
Btw: I think Marks and MacMahon had a very nice talk regarding Mavs options. Felt a bit incomplete as they only tackled cap space and Irving SnT options, but some interesting ideas and notes
