No, you just have to send way more salary than you take back. I assumed your desired deal would likely have Gaff as a bigger salary, plus the debris (CM, JH, DP), which is a close match and logical deal for your wishes.
I guess I should not have assumed -- a deal of some sort WOULD be possible. You can swap in a bigger salary as needed.
However, Mavs bigger salaries also are attached to their much better players. If you are willing to send more really good players, then yes a deal is doable (but now an added issue - both the big salary to Jrue PLUS the cost in players sent can be hard to swallow).
