Mavs could just hang onto WCS or they might be able to find someone as good or better for BAE (Zeller, Baynes, Dieng, Biyombo as a few potential candidates) and flip WCS for another player making up to 6 mil yr.
I don't know how much Josh Hart will make but lets say a guy like that (solid role player) has value somewhere in the BAE to MLE range. Well replacing WCS for a player of equal talent means you might be able to flip him. to Pels for a Hart S&T. Pels need defensive bigs so they might be interested in a cheap rotational big. And that's just one example where you squeeze in an additional rotational player.
I love the Josh Hart idea and was thinking about him the other day in the sense of a sign and trade for Josh Richardson. I agree with you the Mavs are definitely in a really good spot with some of those 1 year deals. I fully expect to see WCS and Richardson not on the roster next year.
Glad to see someone is hyping up Josh Hart...by the way did you know that Josh Hart averaged 8 rebounds a game? He did that playing as a part time player.
