Heck, I don't think the Mavs would've been appreciably worse had Cuban decided to save those tens of millions of dollars he spent on those guys instead of not pursuing them and letting them play elsewhere.

I have to imagine that if/when there are players worth going into the tax for Cuban will spend again. There are some discouraging signs that point the other direction of course. I think they don’t want to start the luxury tax clock ticking until absolutely necessary.
