The thing we have to bear in mind is none of this is final yet. We will know more once we get a number for Bullock. But, if it comes in at a particular level or below, then Brown/Bullock could be the BAE/MLE...could be sharing the MLE...could be space. Heck, until NY wipes out their space, we could be getting these guys via S&T and using up the TPE.
It is certainly possible they did this in a way to preserve some/all of those options when this actually gets finalized in a couple of days. Much will depend on whether there is another trade/FA target coming (we did express interest in Portis). So, MLE for someone? Or, do they get traded here by someone who wants a TPE and comes here for $10.8mm
One more note on Dragic. I've mentioned Powell/Willie is a match and Powell/Burke is not (at least by the numbers Spotrac has). However, Powell/Burke and some tiny bit of additional contract (any of the young guys) does work.

My educated guess is that the reason we haven't heard the Bullock number is that Dallas is still figuring out where they'll fit him pending additional moves. For all we know, he'll end up with the room MLE or counting against cap space. There's still a lot that can happen.
Great minds...
Well, your great mind...and me.
