I doubt it would require significant trade capital to dump Trae. I also don't think they do something like this without making use of their expiring contracts. All the rumors say this was necessary for the AD trade. It should not impact AD cost. It's not Mavs problem that they need to dump Trae and I don't think there is an argument that Mavs should be taking on any of that burden.
