I wonder if there could be some kind of Duffy-approved J Rich for Dragic trade that would allow Mavs to stay over the cap.
The Heat will have their pick of the best FA's so it's unlikely they want to spend cap space on J Rich, its just interesting that you have the Duffy connection and player connections to each franchise.
Dragic will be one to watch in any scenario because I don't think he is in Miami next year. Dragic's role on the Mavs would be a ball mover off the bench and spot starter.
One sort of budget plan would be one where Mavs try to get Dinwiddie/Dragic to add playmaking and retain THJ's scoring. You are adding net 1 guard with J Rich exiting.
Speaking of Dinwiddie I don't know if there is a way to get him in some kind of opt-in and trade J Rich / Dinwiddie swap. I haven't seen whether the Nets receiving an opt-in player would trigger a hard cap.
You could try to do this all with just cap space, something like 14 THJ, 12 Dinwiddie (in a small trade so that you keep his bird rights), 8 Dragic.
Main rotation players would be something like:
Luka/Dragic
Dinwiddie/Brunson/Green
DFS/THJ
Powell/Maxi
KP/WCS (rMLE)
