It's harder without an easy one for one. But the last page or two in this thread has multiple posts about possibilities.
If sending away multiple players for DFS, Mavs have to send away MORE salary than they get back, enough extra to allow payroll room to subsequently refill the roster and stay under that hard cap.
They have multiple obstacles, not just the hard cap (which severely limits choices to consider) but also the reality that their depth is a real asset and they have good use for (and good contract for) about all 15 players. That means trade options that will truly make them better are probably very limited. Also, it's hard to see where they have minutes to play a player they trade for, which kinda makes a trade not worth the cost.
I like DJJ or DFS or maybe Portis as good adds of 2 way players with contracts priced right (to me, a MAJOR part of who makes sense and who doesnt). But if I'm being practical, sitting pat sure seems like it might make more sense than what any of those are likely to cost in both players, picks, and turmoil to the roster. OTOH they did it last year in a major shakeup that was worth it, so who knows?
