With an AD trade unlikely at this point, I think they have to move multiple players to shed salary. Let's say the Mavs luck out and get the 3rd pick in the draft (penciling in a little under $12m). Even if they moved Gafford this TDL for an expiring and replaced him with a vet min contract they would only be $2m under the 2nd apron and would still have a $70m tax bill.
Is the one 2nd they own enough to dump a guy like Hardy? I don't think you can get an expiring for Klay at this point. Martin is huge negative that they shouldn't waste assets to offload.
