Dallas Mavericks face a roster crunch with 16 players on standard contracts—forcing a tough decision before opening night. Caleb Martin, acquired at the trade deadline last year, is the likely casualty due to injury woes and underwhelming play. His nearly $9M salary makes trading him difficult without significant assets, so waiving him and stretching his contract could be the smarter move—reducing this year’s cap hit by over $7M and freeing up luxury tax space. But it also means carrying dead money for three years and missing out on a potential comeback if he stays healthy. Training camp will be critical for Martin to prove he still has value.
