According to Marc Stein, the Mavs have created a viable pathway to the $12.4 million midlevel exception to pursue "top wings' in free agency. The starting point of those efforts will be Bruce Brown.
"Dallas instead used Bertans' contract to move down two spots in the draft to select Duke center Dereck Lively II at No. 12 and likewise move far enough away from luxury-tax territory to gain use of the full non-taxpayers’ $12.4 midlevel exception in free agency to pursue top wings in free agency (starting with Denver’s Bruce Brown)," Stein wrote.
