It depends, but:
Assuming you sign the 2 using minimum, rather than some of MLE ...
Assuming you pay all the cash allowed 5.785M ....
Assuming Mavs sign JB for about 20M ....
Assuming Mavs don't find a way to shed a big chunk of payroll (to get in a lower tax bracket)....
If veteran signs a simple one-year league-subsidized minimum (no option, no trade bonus, no incentives) ....Then with tax, it's about 1.5M more for the pick
If veteran signs a minimum with frills, option, a 2nd year, etc ...Then with tax, it could be as much as 1.8M more for the veteran (exact salary depends on NBA tears of experience)
