Not only are the Mavs hard-capped at 172 mil right now, I think they're capping themselves at 165 mil due to tax. In a THJ for Capela swap, the Mavs roster goes from 161.7 to 163.9. So about 1.4 mil from the tax line and about 8.5 mil from the 1st apron. I don't think there is any realistic scenario where the Mavs can toe the tax line and try and improve. So with that in mind, its time for Mark to prove he's willing to spend up to the 1st apron.
What team has a distressed player that is making around 14.1 mil AND would either need a backup center in McGee at a lower contract, OR needs to shed the difference of McGee's contract to get below the tax line/1st apron?
If the Mavs are really intent at staying below the tax, the above rules apply except they need to find a player making 7.1mil which I think is highly unrealistic as the difference between 7 and 5 mil aren't that great.
