Seems after we hit the 1st apron, the only way to add salary is vet min and resigning with early-Bird and Bird rights. In the offseason we would pretty much have to operate as a 1st apron team.
When you are over the first apron, you can take in 110 % of outgoing salary, compared to 125 % when under. You can't do SnT.
Mavs have 172 mil committed to 13 players next season. Lets say THJ, Green and GW (or Holmes or Maxi) are the outgoing salary. This is roughly same money as Siakam will get with max deal. Mavs will have two more MLE level deals in the summer and still possibility to resign DJJ, if they dump at least one of those deals.
These players will be under contract after the deal in the summer, assuming THJ, Green and GW are gone:
Luka,
Kyrie, Hardy, Seth (not guaranteed)
Exum,
Siakam, Omax
Lively, Powell, Holmes, Maxi
Add three min salary guys. You have Holmes and Maxi plus 2 picks to play around the edges.
