Alright just because signing Dinwiddie is probably Marks wet dream (think about all that crypto that can be discussed!) lets see if I can try to piece together a wholly unrealistic offseason with all the rumors.

SnT Reddick (8mil for matching? Thats 175%) for Dinwiddie for 4/64 (start at 14 mil). 

Go over to the Jazz, convince them that JRich+Kleber are the guys they NEED to get over the hump. SnT them for Conley, starting at 23 mil. 

Finally go to the Heat. They apparently love THJ. I like some of their guys too, namely Dragic and Achiuwa. So THJ (4/84 starting at 18 mil?) for Dragic (MLE money) and Achiuwa. 
 

I think your sleep deprivation is impacting your fantasy trading.  Brooklyn is hopelessly over the line and can't take Redick in a S&T.  I made the same oversight not that long ago.  You could do opted-in JRich for Dinwiddie.  

Also, Miami can easily generate $18mm of cap space for THJ and keep the holds on Nunn and Robinson by walking away from Dragic and Iggy.  I don't see a world in which they trade away Achiuwa for the right to do something they can already do without giving up Achiuwa.  If the answer is to operate over the cap to retain the MLE, I think there are other ways to do that.  I suspect Hardaway is Plan E for Miami and hopefully Dragic is Plan J for Dallas.

I do think there is some advantage to an opted-in JRich in terms of leveraging the off-season.  He can bring back a $16.6mm player which is more than his space allows.  Trading for him doesn't hard-cap the receiving team.  THJ can also provide leverage, but you can't send him to a team close to or over the line.  When you eliminate those teams and the ones with cap space to sign him outright, I'm struggling to find the obvious deal for him.
