I dont get why Deron Williams and Dwight Howard wont join the Mavs

[dirkdiggler41]

Pro's
-Great GM and owner in Donnie Nelson and Cuban. How many times has the Mavs not made the playoffs with Cuban as a owner?
-Dirk Nowitzki. Old, but he still great and now that he healthy he shows you how good he is.
-Marion, Jason Terry and Roddy Beaubois (plus others) Marion might be gone, but it will probably only be Haywood (amnesty) Also you got Vince Carter, Ian Mahinmi.
-The team would actully be built well with a strong inside man in Dwight, great shooting with Dirk and a hell of a pointguard in Deron.

Con's
-Deron and Dwight wont get full money if Dirk does not change his contract up and Mavs trade away Marion for nothing.

Who says he won't?

If he ends up going to free agency, which I doubt he will, Boston and Dallas are far and away Dwight's best chances to win a title or two.

[FireDavidKahn]

Because they wont have the cap space to get both?

[dirkdiggler41]

Salary for the offseason: $41,406,384
Haywood (amnesty) Minus $8,349,000
Odom's Contract Team option Minus 5,000,00
Salary 28mills

If the cap space is 58, that means both contract can start at 15mill. I dont know what the max is. I also did not consider changing Dirk's contract up.

Someone said under the new cba a player can't change or restructure his contract

[Andrei89]

Dirk Nowitzki alongside Dwight and Deron would be a beast.

He would probably score less points per game but on 70% shooting fo real!

I don't think you can restructure contracts anymore.

Trade Marion and DoJo for a pick just to get more cap space

The 3 D's in the D...IT WILL HAPPEN!

You also have to factor in completing the roster. I'm not too sure how a lot of this works but you can not sign into the luxury tax (I think) so you have to fill out the roster and add cap holds with that 30 million.

Your numbers are a little off there, did you use the payroll numbers from *********? If you are you might want to remember that they don't include salaries that a team has an option to pick-up/decline in total salary.

Here's the contracts the Mavs have already on the books for the 2012-13 season (assuming Haywood is amnestied).


Dirk Nowitzki - 20,907,128
Shawn Marion - $8,646,364
Rodrigue Beaubois - $2,227,332
Dominique Jones $1,276,560
-----------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL - 33,057,384

Seeeing that the cap is right at $58 million there is no way to fit 2 max contracts in without making moves.

Whoever said that was wrong. Players are able to renegogiate contracts.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/73...ning-agreement

• A new "renegotiation and extension" provision allows an existing contract to be renegotiated so the player is paid a smaller amount over a longer period, but the player's salary cannot decrease by more than 40 percent. Renegotiations previously could only increase a player's salary.

It's simple why they wont...Texas is gay.

Dwight is going to Brooklyn with Deron. It's a lock.

What do you mean? I included Odom's contract

Where do you get your numbers from?

[Sarcastic]

Didn't they sign Haywood after the CBA, which means they can't amnesty him?

[Droid101]

Unlikely that Dwight will leave $30 million on the table. Unlikely.
