With the contracts of DP, SD, DB, THJ in place, the Mavs are not in the position to add another bad contract via the TPE (receiving draft compensation), the cost would be way too high due to tax implications.
No team will give away a useful player on an OK contract into the TPE for free ...
So the only use-case for the TPE would be trading for a useful player with no salary match required on the other team and draft compensation (future first most likely) going out. Unlikely such a trade can be found that interests both the MAvs and another team until the TPE expires.
