The idea of the Knicks potentially wanting Kemba presents an interesting possible foundation for a 3-way deal. KP to Boston, Kemba to the Knicks, and a huge trade exception (plus their own ‘23 pick) to Dallas would open up lots of avenues to keep THJ and operate over the cap while chasing S&T deals for RFAs or absorbing other bigger contracts in trades. For example, with a $36mm TPE you could conceivably get Collins and Markkanen or Ball and Turner with only cheaper players and picks going out. Something to keep an eye on if Dallas starts getting creative.t

So I hadn't thought of that idea which is pretty interesting given how much cap space NYK has and their willingness to use it for dumps.

So Dallas would have the option of operating over the cap with a giant TE as you say or just using cap space, whichever is more advantageous. To me I still think cap space would likely be more useful.

It would suck to do a straight cap dump of KP given what was given up for him but you think have a lot of cap space to build the team you want.
