You can't say you are resigning Bogi and then not include him in your mix. You can't just make Joseph dissapear from their books, even if you buy him out. It is a simple cap math, that Sacramento has no cap space for the foreseable future if they keep the guys mentioned and resign Bogi and Fox. So you can't just magically offer max to Gobert, even if you don't extend Fox this season (which they will probably do). I repeat again - 7 players will cost them 110 mil in 2021. If you don't extend Fox, that is still 90 mil and they still don't have no where near cap space for max offer.
If you want cap space, you have to get rid of some combination of Hield, Barnes, Joseph by taking shorter term money back. I think we can agree this can only be done if you take back worse players or pay assets.

This is just silly. Off course Wright and Powell are bad contracts, but it is just 18 mil per season. Sacramento has 58 mil of bad contracts next season (Barnes, Hield, Joseph). Mavs have two all stars and only one is paid as such. Mavs have zero role players paid 20+ per. If Mavs keep the core and add the 2020 rookie, we have some 87 mil committed in 2021 with 9 players under contract. If cap remains the same, we need to dump Powell to get to max contract range.
