Hmmmm…
The contract really lines up incredibly well. In fact Vando fits into the TPE perfectly (4.6 salary and TPE is 4.9).
Mavs are currently at $161,693,768 according to my excel sheet, which puts them $3,600,232 off the tax line. Vanderbilt would initially put them over the tax line, but a McGee S/W would put them right back under it by 2.2 mil.
New roster would be:
Luka/Curry/Exum
Kyrie/THJ/Hardy
Vando/Green
G-Will/Maxi/Omax
Holmes/Lively/Powell
Total roster salary: $163,005,812.
Heck, can even trade THJ for Capela and the new roster salary would be $165,724,084 and we'd be over the tax by 400k. Meaning, if the Mavs somehow find a way to throw McGee into the rumored Capela 3-teamer, AND do this hypothetical Vando SnT, we'd be able to have Capela+Vando while still staying under the tax:
Luka/Curry/Exum
Kyrie/Hardy
Vando/Green
G-Will/Maxi/Omax
Capela/Holmes/Lively/Powell
Total roster salary: $163,375,760
