A Lowry S&T could be done under or over the cap. Over the cap (retaining the MLE) would require a trade match. For numbers sake, you could send Powell and JRich who total $22.7. They can match any number for Lowry up to $28.4. In that case you'd still be over the cap and could retain THJ's hold and have the MLE.
There is also a version of a S&T where we send out less salary (just Powell at $11 million for instance) and fill the gap with cap room. Since cap room was used you are under the cap and don't have the full MLE. Instead, you have the Room MLE.
