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 think we will keep JB and dump THJ or Bertans with our pick as you said. Maybe can offload Sterling Brown or Burke saves a little too? I think Cuban just needs to pay up and then we have a couple contracts coming off Summer of ‘23 right? Maxi, Powell, Burke and Brown?
