Kind of why I've advocated getting guys in now on deals that seem kind of bad. OP Jr., Tim Hardaway, Gallo if the price was only expirings.
There are like 10-12ish teams that have max space... some will have 2 max slots. If Toronto/GS/Mil/Clips retain their guys all of a sudden there is slim pickings. Sacramento and BKN both have like $50M in space... which means no young guy with potential will go for an "under-market value deal". FAs will have a ton of leverage.
I think there will be some value in the MLE type market... but we could play in that market without cap space.
What do you think about Barnes? Fits into that mold. He would be an offseason acquisition if the Mavs shoot for a big name as they do. OP Jr is tougher pill as his deal goes past 2020 which would take up all our space while Donovan is on his rookie deal.
Also in an MLE market it's best to be the team that can go over the MLE.
