One thing I think people are overlooking as they see the Mavs with money remaining in the MLE like it's burning a hole in their pocket, is how valuable it will be on the buyout market late in the season.
Not only will a number of teams be prevented from signing bought out players, but many teams will either be way in the tax or won't have any MLE money remaining to offer something over the minimum.
Look at some of the names I came up with who could be had this year if the Mavs just hold their water:
Gordon Hayward
Royce O'Neale
Kelly Olynyk
Alec Burks
Mike Conley
Cedi Osman
Possibly if dealt at the deadline
Tobias Harris
Buddy Hield
