What if...
What if we're overcomplicating this...? What if the Mavs are trading Gafford to the Grizzlies for a pick and essentially air.
Then Lebron gets bought out and signs here for whats left over...? If we traded Gafford for air, the Mavs would be under the 1st apron by 3.5 mil. We could then technically sign DLo AND Lebron to the MLE. DLo gets his current allotted 5.6 mil. And Lebron gets a 3.6 mil. Mavs are then hardcapped at the 1st apron. But would be under it. By just so.
This hinges on Lebron forcing his way out. But this way the Mavs basically "trade" Gafford for Lebron.
