The Mavs basically wouldn't have been able to go after the big name free agents in the off season because of lack of cap room..
They could, however, traded juwan before the trade deadline to a team looking to free up cap space in the off season, which could be just about as good as going after a big name free agent.
Remember, they did have enough room to sign Redd, Cuban just chose not to offer him more of the exception if I'm remember correctly
