I think Cuban is fine with it spending something to repeat.

It's indeed important to note that we have almost $20 million coming off the books as early as June mostly due to Kidd's and Jet's expiring contracts. That and the two-year grace period could certainly create a mindset to spend big money one more time in order to get as much out of the talent we have as possible.
Dirk has three years left and the harsher luxury tax comes into play in two years. I'd be somewhat surprised to see Cuban save money NOW instead of two or three years from now. If I read the reports correctly, we could basically go for another title under the same conditions for two more years.
