After the draft the Mavs would have all the picks to trade(high possibility), worse case scenario with KP would be that he opts in and becomes a 36mil expiring contract. Also Powell expires after the 22/23 season. If the Mavs sign THJ and others for 2 years, they will have capspace in 2023. Why that year? There are many great free agents in 2023( https://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/2023/ ) - Jokic, Beal, Embiid, Brogdon, Turner, Wood, Capella, Grant, Butler,... That's the time to build a real contender IMO.
They said that about this coming free agency. Then everybody extended and it went to crap. There is no reason to limit the years on contracts getting signed. Contracts can generally be dumped fairly easily (especially if they are expiring) unless they are terrible.
I just hope they learned their lesson from a couple years ago and collude with the agents better before free agency officially starts. If they can land a Lowery or Conley in free agency, then they should be ready to pull the trigger immediately and do what they can to retain one of THJ/JRich. If not, they need to do everything they can to get those guys on semi reasonable contracts.
