The Mavericks will only have four free agents this summer, two of whom (Greg Brown and Brandon Williams) are two-way contract players. Of their playing rotation, only Derrick Jones Jr is hitting the market, along with Markieff Morris at the end of the veteran bench. The upshot of all this is that, with so little salary expiring, the incumbent payroll is expensive. Doncic ($43,031,940) and Irving ($41,000,000) take up $84 million between them, or almost 60 percent of the salary cap, and once the five other eight-figure annual salaries owed to Tim Hardaway Jr ($16.193.183), PJ Washington ($15,500,000), Daniel Gafford ($13,394,160), Josh Green ($12,654,321) and Maxi Kleber ($11,000,000) are included, that is all the salary cap gone. -via HoopsHype / June 19, 2024
