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.

I am by no means a salary cap guru or even have a working knowledge of how the convoluted system works, but it seems to me that Powell + Kleber = $20M that is only committed for 2022-2023. Boban + Sterling Brown + Frank = another $6-7M that goes off the books in that same timeframe. So, wouldn't the extreme tax only be for one year?
