Ya I just think the odds are better than 50% bc of that opt-in number which to me is slightly higher than teams with space probably want to pay J Rich (and obv more than MLE). If you are a team with a Satoransky or someone of that quality and you can swap them out for J Rich that is probably an easy win. For the Mavs it's also an easy win to get a rotation player, probably expiring for basically nothing. Obv both sides need to find a match but I don't think it's impossible.
If you get a good rotation player then you still have MLE, BAE left at your disposal. If no match happens then ya you might just use the non-THJ money and rMLE to sign two rotation guys.
