    So you're LITERALLY living in the past? Also ignoring our star free agent signings

    CJ will be happy when he ends up on a team where he can be an all star. Bonus if it's a market where he gets more national exposure. Seriously, he won't care.

    Seth Curry is NOT A POINT GUARD. We have NO BACKUP PG. This is why our bench sucked LAST year.

    Certain kinds of exceptions that are allowed to sign free agents only can be used if you're under certain spending limits. If you use one of those, then for the rest of the season you can't exceed a point called "the apron", which is about $6 million over the luxury tax threshold.

    This is starting to feel like Neil has watched too many "back to the future" movies and is enacting the Doc Brown part. A little bit crazy.

    Now spend the other half of the mle on Beasley and trade CJ Aminu and Zach for Kawhi and Gasol .

    And what do we get in return? Judging by what we got for Batum, a couple of second round picks and a pack of gum.

    Kawhi really BETTER be able to guard 1 through 5. (He's just probably not used to doing it at the same time.)

    Also, if we get Kawhi, it's a guarantee his injury is career-ending.

    No. Apparently there are rules against that now.

    Ah, the "David Kahn Defense"... ;)

    Seriously, we could offer a vet min contract for just under 2M (just like we did with Stauskas), or carve up our 5.6M exception that's the only way we're going to get anyone above the vet min who's a FA, in order to give a guy a few hundred G's more. For Seth Curry. A guy who missed the entire last season.

    Why would the Mavs let the "healthy Curry from 2 years ago" slip away?

    No. Wrong. It's not living in the past. It's great strategy.
    What "star FAs"? You mean Stauskas and Curry? They are the 2 guards and Collins and Biggie are our 2 bigs. I didn't get it wrong, you must have just misunderstood.

    at least it's not right-handed power hitters who can't hit homers in their own stadium or play D... wait a second....
