The Dallas Mavericks traded Kristaps Porzingis, at least in part, to balance their salaries moving forward. Dallas will almost certainly be in the luxury tax during the 22-23 season.
The $207 million extension signed by Luka Doncic will begin, while Davis Bertans and Spencer Dinwiddie are signed for $17 million and $18 million. The Mavericks signed Dorian Finney-Smith to an extension and will also do every this possible to re-sign Jalen Brunson.
“We’re going to be in luxury tax hell next year, but that’s OK; it frees up the year after that,” Mark Cuban said.
The Mavericks will have Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell come off their books after the 22-23 season.
