I think no question Wright is moved this offseason. He just isn't a fit. In a game where they needed a lot of help he didn't play a single minute. He will flash on you so don't be shocked if Rick plays him next game and he randomly makes an impact. He just isn't a guy who is consistent which won't with with Rick. He needs guys he can count on.
It's possible you got Burke up to a full MLE altho man that's a lot for such a tiny sample size. Even if you have to use a good bit of that you have the rMLE + Wright's deal + Jackson plus 2 picks. You could easily come away with 4 solid vet contributors including Burke with those tools at your disposal. Mavs will have in my view at least 6 or 7 spots they can play with. I could see 2 non min FAs, 2 trades, JJB, Lee back on vet mins (or not) and one other vet min to finish out the roster.
