They don’t have any cap room, but that doesn’t mean the Dallas Mavericks can’t make some big moves this summer.
He has one year and $13 million left after this season … but it’s not guaranteed. Meaning a team can trade for him, and drop him. That’s a $13 million savings. Not too shabby.
One team that would like to drop that much and get under the luxury tax? The Hornets.
No one is suggesting the Hornets would trade Chris Paul to Dallas, but David West is a possibility. The Mavs also have Caron Butler and young guard Rodrigue Beaubois, who has played pretty well in his rookie season.
It’s going to be an interesting summer indeed.
