(I don't have access to a spreadsheet right now to figure the rough working number for the combo of DJJ and a player via Green trade, but I'm guessing it would be around 26.5 off the top of my head, which allows a player making about 13.5 or maybe a bit more if Green is moved as well as THJ.)
Keith Smith twitted Mavs are 16 mil (and change) under the first apron, so I used that number.
Edit: Spotrac and MavsCBA have us 14,8 mil under the first Apron. Since the new FA would be replacing an empty roster spot, I guess this puts us at over 16 mil. Am I correct in my thinking?
Than Green (shipped into someones MLE or cap space) is just replaced by DJJ, basically allowing us to sign DJJ to max Green salary. Of course if he takes less, Mavs could offer even more money to a FA in such a case.
