They are ~3.7M below the tax line with 14 roster spots and a rotation that makes sense on paper. Cuban was probably willing to pay tax on a piece that fit so well in Thybulle, although i suspect he would have eventually skirted under with a THJ and McGee trade.
FWIW I'm very happy with what they've done and even more excited about what they wanted to do, but didn't accomplish, because I see the vision - unlike last off-season.
It feels like there are still some big moves to be made by other teams though, like Dame and maybe Harden. There will surely be domino effects if big trades take place there that perhaps the Mavs are waiting to take advantage of. To me it feels like the roster moves the Mavs have made only interlock properly if another move is made. As it currently stands I think the roster is pretty unbalanced, and moves like Williams and Seth don't make as much sense to me without further moves.
