If it took us 10 mil to get to MLE, then it would be 40 mil to get MLE space. Regardless, we are not getting two or three players like Hartenstein. He will go for MLE at this rate. Either way, you are not rebuilding this team with 10-20 mil cap space. And you have lost most of your ballast for big trades.
Mavs are projected to be 23.7M over the cap next year. THJ+GWill+Holmes clears 42M. So 18.3M is the actual number. Enough to resign Bridges. MLE (Hartenstien or K. Anderson).
You trade Kyrie and 3 picks for Lauri and Sexton. Maybe even a 3 team deal where Kyrie goes to the Lakers and Utah gets even more picks.
Luka - Hardy - Curry
Exum - Sexton - Lawson
Bridges - Green
Lauri - Omax - Maxi
Lively - Hartenstein - Powell
