You're assuming a significant uptick in cap room in your scenario, AND you're being incredibly optimistic (imo) when you claim that 14Mil might be enough to bring Deron here.

There is no chance in hell that Deron gives the Mavs a hometown discount off of the max and then leaves an extra $20M+ on the table from the Nets. This is a guy who took the most money he could get over the summer from a Turkish team when the lockout took effect.
Even if you had Tyson this year AND he did give a hometown discount, there is no way we get out of the first round. Our issue this year wasn't our defense as much as it was a team with low BBall IQ and poor outside shooting. The strength of our team last year wasn't Tyson, it was the ability for the Mavs to space the floor on offense and the threat of outside shooting creating penetration lanes for the guards.
