That probably means Jeff Green is 15 mil a season easy. Wouldn't mind the Mavs getting him, but nope.
Just tank. Please. The FO can save face saying it's time and letting Dirk move on.

I think the Mavs have only $31M committed (not including Dirk). I believe the salary floor is $80M. So, they might have somewhere in the neighborhood of $50M to spend to get to the minimum. Is that possible? I guess you can give Dirk $30M and DWill $10M, and then use the rest on scraps??? Or, you can try to put together a couple of $12-$15M contracts and give Dirk + DWill less, and move closer to the salary cap.
Edit: Salary floor is 90% of the salary cap. So, if the cap is set at $94M, then the floor is $84.6M. The penalties are not dramatic, in fact what happens is the team takes the difference between team salary and the floor and then distributes that amount evenly among the players.
