As far as I know, only JET, Josh, Diop and Dirk have contracts that last until 2011 or longer at about $50 million in total. Damp's 2010-2011 contract, worth around $13 million, is conditional and it's safe to say that he won't be able to meet the requirements for his contract to be extended another year.
If Dirk were to opt out of his current deal and guys like Kidd, Damp (and actually Dirk) would no longer be on the Mavs' payroll with their three biggest contracts, we should have some flexibility come 2010. With that said, I don't really see through all the modalities of NBA trade scenarios etc.
