In that post I did agree about the Hard Cap being...soft...as a limitation. But, it requires near perfection in the summer of 21 to justify taking certain tools out of the too shed. Fingers crossed.
Yeah, let's take discussion here so it is not split on two places.

Why do they need to wait? If Atlanta agrees on SnT everything can be done in day 1. I am fully aware what a pipe dream scenario I wrote. It was intentional. But I firmly believe that is a point GM should start from. That is best possible. Now let's try to come to that as close as possible. I agree realistic scenario is Collins and one of JRich/THJ. Let's say the odd man out is signing with someone else for 15 mil. Of course I also assume Atlanta is playing along, which is far from given. If they are not playing along, Collins obviously can't be a target and Mavs move (before FA!) to next best thing. From here there are just two possibilities. In the first one, the odd man out from THJ/JRich signs with team that has cap space. So no salary needs to go back (same as Boston did with Hayward). In this case we have:
- yo Dolan my man, how 's it hanging? How about you take Powell in cap space and we lift the restrictions on 2023 pick. The way Luka and KP fight it might actually be a good one. I also promise we bring whole team to your concert next time you'll play in Dallas area.
- yo Pat my man. I know you always loved JRich and I know he wants to go back to Miami. I know you want to sign him with cap space, but why don't you give me a favour and rather SnT him for a second rounder and 2 million in cash? Three million you said? Ok, deal
Dal: Snt Collins
Mia: Snt JRich, second rounder (or two)
NY: Powell, lift restriction
Atl: 2025 FRP
In the second one, JRich (or THJ) is going to a team with cap space. In this case you don't have the Pat convo but with another one, let's say:
Yo, Danny my friend. TDL didn't go so great, did it? Here, I have a proposal to you. I know my main man JRich wants to go to Boston and I want to do him solid. Hold your horses, let me finish, you can keep Tristan. I am offering a SnT and you send your crap elsewhere to match the salaries. I hear there is some guy who want to collect all the picks and has plenty of cap space. I can even throw in a million cash to make you look a winner of the trade. What say you?
