I don't think its hard at all to get salaries synced up. I agree that Mavs wouldn't be bothered by Bertans contract. Bertans is a high volume shooter so 16/yr is actually pretty good. I am pretty sure Mavs would want Avdija and Bryant which would put you at 28-29 which is good enough for salary matching. Avdija has some promise, Bryant is sort of a flier with his injury but on a 1 yr deal.
To me the sticking point would be Washington's pick #15. I have a feeling they will make a deal because otherwise they are locked into mediocrity anyway.
In this move they would be losing two starters that were both injured this year (Bryant, Avdija) for KP. If they want to start a Hachimura/KP front court they could go that route and just figure out SF. Hutchinson is another SF they drafted and they would probably have the full MLE to round out the roster.
