1 If you SW Powell, you have dead money of 1,333,334 this year (and 2 more years, too). Then you have to refill the slot with a minimum salary (2,087,519). So you only save 579,148. I don't think it makes sense to do that move with such little benefit - and carve into your payroll in future years.
2 If you HAD to, yes that gets you room to waive Lawson and add 2 players at minimum. You'd have another 100K leftover, on top of the 1M cushion.
3 Mavs have said Powell is going nowhere, and they're not looking to change his status on the team. So that's the biggest obstacle of all.
