I don't get why fans get so wound up that a guy is making $9 million when they think he's worth like $6 million, but good Lord does it make fans skew their perceptions of players over that $3 million difference. Especially when you're paying your own guys, there's something to be said for taking care of your guys who have shed blood for your organization and guys that your superstars currently enjoy playing with.
Well capspace can only be judged relative to the players you have under contract. For the Mavs it´s not a problem, because we have a very healthy cap structure at the moment with the exception of Dwight Powell. If we had Barnes, Wright and Powell tied up for $45M you f***** bet that capspace would be the bomb.
We can navigate a bigger trade and a reasonably big free agent signing, because we are already in a position that we can use our remaining assets purely toward the talent acquisition rather than the subtraction of our shitty contracts.
