I already had this prepared 😅
Apron room is $14,893,699
Mavs can use a combination of these two exceptions to that total for two FA
- Up to $12,859,000 using the Full MLE (4 years max)
- Up to $4,681,000 using (2 years max)

Mavericks need to go ahead and commit to Christian Wood. If he’ll only take the extension if it’s a 4 year deal with a player option on the last year…then just do it.

Holmes had no real reason to do this. It’s one thing when a superstar takes less to come back to the team he’s spent his whole career with…it’s pretty selfless for Richaun to do this while coming to a new team. Respect 🫡
Our TPE is bigger because of this too
$4,953,980
Mavs C Richaun Holmes waived his $1.8 million trade kicker, sources told ESPN. That allowed the Mavs to beef up the offer sheet to Matisse Thybulle, but Portland opted to match. Mavs still have MLE to use and are $10.9M under the first apron/hard cap, per

This is what Dinwiddie is saying
Spencer Dinwiddie explains why he picked the Lakers over the Mavs: “Let’s say you’re a kid and you get your ass whupped by the bully. Dallas would have been like your mama, like, ‘It’s OK, baby.’ … Lakers are like your dad: ‘Nah, you better go out there and fight ‘til you win.’”

Game 7 against the Clippers in 2021.

- Dallas wasn't favored in 2 of 3 series.
- Boston has been the overwhelming favorite in each series.
- Dallas has played 3 of the top 5 records in the NBA
- Boston has played the West Conf equivalent of play-in teams
That's why you aren't hearing "Have the Mavs been tested?"
Dallas is up 3-0 and has only played two more playoff games than the Celtics.
I don’t hear anyone asking whether or not the Mavericks have been tested this postseason.

When we traded for Kyrie… I was worried we might feel the need to give him the full 5 year max north of 270
I was resigned to giving him a 3+1 max around 210
We got him starting 9 million lower than max for 3 years (2+1 with player option).
This is a good deal

Dallas can give $5,405,000 pro-rated 😎
LAL pitch to players on the buyout market:
- We are built for the playoffs, be a part of that
- We can offer ~ $1.5m prorated because of the money we held onto when not giving Vincent full MLE. Other teams can only offer ~$1m prorated

Kyrie has only missed 4 FTs as a Maverick on 132 attempts.
That’s wild.
Along with the game winning 3 with 21.6 left last night, and the highlight is here from our telecast, Kyrie made 2 more critical free throws late. Since joining the Mavs last February, he's 128/138 on FTs, 92.8%!

If the Mavericks get Grant Williams to sign an offer sheet at the Full MLE $12,405,000 it would cost Boston a lot in tax.
They are already 10 million into the tax with 12 players.
The tax on Grant Williams $12.405 would be around $37.75 million.
Total cost of $50+ million

If the Mavs become the first team to come back from down 0-3 to win, it would be the karmic righting of how the 2007 Warriors were the first 8th seed to beat a 1st seed in a 7 game series when they took out the 67-win Mavericks.

in what might be one of the more absurd statistical individual playoff performances in a while, Luka Doncic just scored or assisted 31 of Dallas' 37 total field goals made in a 105-100 win.

I agree that it’s a different game, but, in addition to poss/game, increased 3 point shooting is the biggest factor.
Kobe and Luka both took 13 3s.
Kobe went 28/46 shots and 20 FTs
Luka went 25/33 shots and 16 FTs
Lakers took 88 shots and 33 FTs
Mavs took 85 shots and 32 FTs
When Kobe scored 82 in the Prison ball era of 2006 the average # of possessions per game was 91 and the league average efficiency was 106.
Current numbers this season are 99 possessions a game with an avg efficiency of 116.36

With Kyrie’s 2023-24 salary most likely being $38,888,889, the Mavericks can use the Full MLE (12.4) plus most of the BAE (3.9 ish)

Maybe not being able to contain his emotions is part of the reason Dennis is on his 6th team and Maxi is still on his original team.

The Mavericks CAN sign Dinwiddie because
