About Powell's salary, if we assume the full MLE gets used, and that the Mavs would need to keep a cushion below the hard cap, there's room to pay him about 1M more than the 2.019M minimum - except, if he is on a one-year minimum contract, the Mavs would pay him (and be cap-charged) 2.019M but he would actually be paid approx 3.197M (with the rest being paid by the league).
It makes so much sense to do it that way that I have to trust they will do something else. Based on Mavs, Cuban, and Powell history.
