That won't get you there. Redick would be Base Year at anything bigger than about $15.6M. Also, the Mavs have to stay under the apron, which means that outgoing non-Redick salary would need to be $22M-ish at a minimum. That means the Mavs can't just send meh pieces, but would have to also send out multiple valued pieces to accomplish the trade match.
They would end up taxpayers THIS season, before Luka's enormous salary jump even begins.
And all that for John Wall, his massive contract, and his current level of play and health. He's just not worth it.
