I worried that they would turn Johnsons expiring and THJ expiring into... THJs new contract.

JJ is an unrestricted free agent after this year and Mavs have early bird rights to re-sign him. He’s also 36. He’ll turn 37 in this offseason. He won’t turn 38 until the season after.
The trade is basically 17 million expiring for 17 mill expriring and a pick so it’s just Redick, who we actually want for a second-rounder.
2019-2020 - 13.5mill
2020-2021 - 13.9 mill
Melli also has no guaranteed money next year. We can give him a QO of 4 mill and make him a restricted FA or we can simply let him walk to clear cap. Our overall cap space is unaffected unless we decide to offer Redick a contract over the veteran minimum next season.
