Will Mark have the skill set to avoid the luxury tax in 2022-23? You betcha! Like the NFL's George Halas, Mark "throws nickels around like manhole covers."
But, what if Mark took the opposite approach and found ways to generate enough revenue that he could player shop with the Ballmers, Lacobs and Gubers of the NBA world? How would he go about it? What can Mark do to bring in the funding to actually compete in the modern NBA?
Nah. I don't agree with your premise.

Bought Mavericks for $285m, now worth 10x that??

I think the only reason he doesn't overspend on salaries is that he wants to win, and recognizes that he has to get value from each player to field a winner.
If the team is mediocre, should he really be paying luxury tax?
