Ibaka.
Ibaka is accepting 18 mil from Orlando. We've already gone over that. He's not a max or a FA question
I think the most realistic FA target is throwing an ugly max offer at Jrue actually.
I don't think wise has looked at next summer's actual FA class.
Yeah, the Mavs are FA powerhouses with the new goalposts being just getting meetings. We are all shocked and disappointed we only won one title with the guys we have signed in the last decade.

Every team has the flexibility to trade their current players and sign new ones.
When you have ¬10 mil in cap space and need to dump 18-20 to have max space... You aren't really in a good spot for targeting free agents. I'm sorry.
As for your Pistons comments.. I'd consider comparing your two rosters before throwing bricks. The ridiculousness of criticizing them is amazing.
Their oldest starter is 26 and signed to an old cap max, which means he's paid like a decent starter. And they have this kid named Stanley that is a beast, that gets no love for some reason. And this guy Pope that plays like a 10 year vet but is actually improving 23 year old 3andD stud.
And they can easily trade Harris, Boban, and maybe Ish and have max cap space next summer using Pope's cap hold!
