Not saying it's likely or that the Mavs should do it. But it'd be an interesting pivot.
Brown is reported at $6.2mm divided over two years. BAE starts at $3.73 in the first year with a 5% raise in year two for a total of $7.65mm. Not sure who posted Brown as BAE, but it has been bugging me as it seemed low.
$3.1mm could be a share MLE depending on Bullock (leaves $6.4mm). Seems a hair low, but better than TP-MLE if those were the offers he was getting.
Best route for Dallas to add talent is bringing someone into the TPE or do a trade matched deal (or both).
