Paying the luxury tax would only affect Mark Cuban's personal take from the Mavericks. There would be no restrictions on player acquisitions/movement by moving into the luxury tax.
There are guys on here way more knowledgeable than me on this, but my understanding is that when you become a tax repeater there are restrictions on player acquisitions/movement. We paid tax last season so by not paying tax this season we can push out becoming a repeater at least 2 years.
Cuban has already shown a willingness to pay the tax this season if its worth it (Thybulle offer). Stretching McGee does not save him any money, it just potentially advantageously alters when then cap/tax hits.
