Dallas Mavericks: How attractive will they be to free agents this offseason?

Where do the Dallas Mavericks rank among teams with mid-level exception to offer?

Nobody knows the exact salary cap numbers for next season yet. That makes figuring out what teams have to spend a bit difficult. Six organizations are projected to have significant cap space, and the Heat are the only contending team in that group. A few other teams will only be able to offer the mini mid-level exception meaning Dallas can outspend those organizations.

Of the 19 teams projected to be spending their mid-level exception this offseason, Bleacher Report ranked the Mavericks second behind only the Lakers. Dallas topped the Bucks, Nuggets, and Raptors in those rankings. That should come as no surprise. Milwaukee could lose Giannis Antetokounmpo after the 2021 season, and most fans would favor the Mavericks over the other two teams.

Supporters can see 10 players the Mavs could target with their mid-level exception here.

Will Dallas get their top target? That will depend on the player’s feelings about the team and their chances of winning it all in 2021. It is difficult to find teams that players would rather be on, but taking a one-year deal is a risk too. If that is all the Mavericks offer than some will turn them down. Dallas may also try to split their mid-level exception to get a couple of pieces to round out their roster.
