I think the odds of JB not returning are higher than people think.

Mavs are in the tax with or without JB. Re-signing Brunson to 20-25 would put us in absolute cap hell and guarantee a repeat tax and severe league punishments.

I'd like to think Cuban would pay, but you never know. If we somehow lose in the first round again, then the odds are much lower.

That's why I think our draft pick is so important. Having cheap players on rookie contracts really helps. We may trade that pick for some cap relief, though. Dumping THJ/Bertans would definitely help.
