Mavs roster cap would stand at $154.6 million, just below the apron and only ~ $7 million into the tax. You can debate what picks might need to be involved.
Brunson ($20) + Brown --> New York
Robinson ($12.5) + Burks --> Dallas
THJ --> Detroit
NY part of the deal isn’t legal. Robinson is also BYC. So, they can’t take on $23mm while sending out $16.25mm ($10mm for Burks and $6.25mm for Robinson). Easy enough to fix if you send Brown somewhere besides NY. I think the bigger issue is getting Detroit to use its space on Hardaway. With such limited cap room available around the league, is THJ really their highest and best use?
