I'm back now, with time to look closely. Looks like it isn't enough, about like I thought.
A. Hardaway is only 19,602,273 in trade math. Per rules for post-season trade before July 1, you get to use the lesser of current salary or the upcoming season guaranteed base.
B. Salary list
THJ 19.603
JG 2.958
Bobi 3.5
Burke 3.15
Brown 3.0
Chriss 0.959
TOT 33.17
C. Trade match math
Max allowable to DAL for those players 41.5625
GH + Wood = 43.592
As an aside, I think I see more promise in the 3-way with ORL that leaves out PJW. For the Mavs, it's GH for THJ/DB.
And rather than PJW, I prefer to pursue OPJ with the MLE. I like him a lot for that contract, I think he will be available, and since PJW will be looking for a big raise in only a year, I think OPJ on a 3-yr deal is a smarter add, and he has championship experience now.
