Mark Cuban Shuts Down Theories of Salary Cap Circumvention for Dirk Nowitzki’s 2014 Deal

Cuban laughed off conspiracy theories that the Mavericks secretly compensated Nowitzki through outside business deals after he signed a three-year, $25 million contract in 2014. He said the forward “wanted Tim Duncan money” and modeled his deal after Duncan’s three-year, $30 million contract, adding, “The cap stayed flat at $58 million, and that’s what we could manage.”
