Now let's pretend we let Marion walk and give Dirk 10mill/year (like Duncan got). Then we have a trim roster and roughly 18 mill to work with. If we give Monroe the max, he gets 15.8mill and we have about 2.2mill to fill out the rest of the roster, including signing Harris. If harris gets 2.2m a year, then that is all of our cap space and we only have draftees and min guys.
Monroe/Dalembert
Dirk/Wright
Ellington
Ellis
Harris/Calderon
-----------
Ledo, Larkin, Mekel, 34th pick, 51st pick
That's a thin team right there, because we overpaid for Monroe.
That's why we can't pay that much for a guy who is just solid.

Where are you getting your numbers from ? If you give Dirk $10 Million that brings our salary up to $42,232,100 which includes both 2nd Rd Picks
So with these players
Calderon / Larkin / Mekel
Ellis / Ellington / Ledo
Crowder
Dirk
Dalemebert / Wright
#34 / #51
Leaves $20,967,900 In Cap space with a $63.2 Million Cap
If they don't use Ellington as part of a package with other players ( Wright / Mekel ) for another player then I think its a good chance Ellington is traded with $3 Million Cash for cap space .. Giving the Mavs $23.9 Million in Cap space . That leaves enough to sign Monroe Max $15.8 Million or less + Ariza $8 Million
I doubt Harris comes back for $2.2 Million . I think he wants more than $3 Million so Larkin may be the backup PG next year . If so then you still have the $2.7 Million Room exception for Carter
PG-Calderon / Larkin / Mekel
SG-Ellis / Carter / Ledo
SF-Ariza / Crowder / 34th Pick
PF-Dirk / Wright / 51st Pick
C-Monroe / Dalembert / Vet Min
I highly doubt the Mavs bring back Marion for $7 Million .. At least I sure as shit hope not .
