Is now Kidd the Maverick better paid or is it still Finley?

Does anyone know how much Cuban is going to pay in luxury tax after the Kid trade?

Thanks

I'm no expert but from what I understand the rules are that for each dollar that they take on over the luxury tax threshold of $67.865 million, Cuban has to pay a dollar in luxury tax.
Their payroll is $104.536million, so he might pay $36.671 million

Mavs are paying almost twice as much for Kidd when they could have had Nash all along.

Steve Nash is probably doing the "ROFLMAO to myself" thing right now.

At this point the Mavs are roughly 18 million over the threshhold. Cuban has said, however, that he might still use our MLE. But I would think that would depend on who is available.
