If the Mavs can move Powell with no salary coming back (or use him as outgoing in getting a SNT player), and keep WCS, they can split about 43.3M in salary on 3 players.
So for example, they could add Holmes for 13M, one high-dollar scoring guard for 29.5M, and the 3rd a minimum salary guy. In essence, you've swapped Powell for Holmes, and J-Rich/THJ for a much better player (presumably) and a worse one. There are lots of ways to split that, of course.
There would still be the room MLE left (about 5M) plus minimums.
