Episode Details

The Mavericks are strategically operating over the salary cap to preserve valuable exceptions like their traded player and non-taxpayer mid-level exceptions, giving them multiple pathways to upgrade the roster. With solid room below the first apron, they can sign free agents via bird rights or non-bird rights, use their $15M mid-level exception and $5.5M bi-annual exception, and leverage their $20M+ traded player exception to absorb salary in trades — all while staying flexible for the 2026-27 season.
