The Dallas Mavericks carry $177,194,562 in salary for 2026–27, the 25th largest payroll in the league.
That is $23.1M over the $165.0M salary cap, so the roster gets built through exceptions, re-signings and trades rather than cap space.
They sit +$12.1M below the $200.4M luxury-tax line and are not projected to pay tax this season.
With +$19.3M of room below the first apron and +$32.0M below the second, they keep the full set of exceptions and the ordinary salary-matching rules in a trade.
They are hard-capped at the 1st Apron ($209.0M), a ceiling the payroll cannot cross for the rest of the season by any means.
This team has 15 players on standard contracts and 3 two-way deals.
Kyrie Irving is the largest cap hit on the roster at $39,491,282, 22.3% of team payroll, ahead of P.J. Washington ($19.8M) and Daniel Gafford ($17.3M).
They have $22,235,651 of spending power available across 4 exceptions, the largest a $12.0M Non-taxpayer Mid-Level.
Committed salary rises to $184,022,121 for 2027-28, held by 13 players still under contract, against a projected $176,000,000 cap.
