If you are the Mavs and BKN will take anyone you want to give and it only costs you sending all your allowable cash or less (~8M iirc), who do you send out of Martin, Hardy, OMax, Powell? All 4? Are there any who have actual value to the team and its future at their salary?
Since BKN is some 25 mil below the min salary level, they could solve this by paying Cam Thomas, so I don't think they will be just giving cap space for free. Hardy probably doesn't have any value to them, as he is a very similar player than Thomas and Thomas is better. Who knows how some team sees OMax. Perhaps someone sees value in him and would be willing to pay a SRP. I guess Powell is a vet Mavs will want to keep due to the lockerroom. Martin would be probably too expensive to dump, as he has multiple years left and a tanking team wouldn't see a value in him.
Based on this, I would assume OMax would be the odd man out (also really difficult to see minutes for him on the Mavs roster) if Mavs would be doing business with BKN. Compensation probably minimum from Mavs part or perhaps they can get a little bit for him.
