Btw i really wouldnt be surprised if the Mavs and Barnes have a winkie winkie deal next summer. He opts out of 25m and signs a new 4/80 contract. Giving up five million but securing his longterm contract in Dallas.
And the Mavs dig out five more million cap space. Maybe they try the same with Powell (tell him to opt out to get like a 4/30 deal)

If thats the case I hope Barnes is shooting like a thousand 3's a day. Wouldnt want to pay him 20m if he cant get up to around 38%-40% from 3. He did that in GSW so better looks should help some. Doncic and DSJ are going to need guys to drive and kick to.
