The mentality is still flawed on that logic. So if Lebron is available this summer do you not pay him the max because of the future "hard cap" of course you do. So then you'll still have Lebron an out of prime Dirk, an older Marion + garbage in the future. Not neccessarily a guarentee to rack up championship rings even with the best player in the league. There's a 5% chance of that even happening as it's extremely unlikely we get Lebron or Wade or Bosh anyway. Thinking too far into the future is bad because Dirk's prime is ticking away, so be the Mark Cuban that got you in the position in the first place, have some balls and cease the moment by taking an A.I. and see what happens. Once you lose Dirk's prime you never know if this franchise will ever get that ring. To me praying for a miracle (Lebron, Wade etc...) or worrying about future salary caps is a huge disservice to Dirk and Dallas Maverick fans.
