Also, maxing-out Noel isn't going to leave us with enough cap space to sign another max player unless we somehow dump Matthews or Powell/Harris without taking back any salary. Easier said than done, especially with the cap being only $101m next season instead of the originally-projected $108m.




You really need to educate yourself on how the salary cap works... OKC has the 3rd-highest payroll in the league, they're almost $10m over the cap -- they won't be able to sign anyone of consequence this summer.

Oh trust me I know basketball enough to know the Mavs cap space. Which is the obvious team I research mostly.
