Powell/Richardson/WCS/Burke for Kemba? (Normally I'd balk at a 4-for-1 deal, but in the offseason with two motivated teams it's more doable).
Boston could use the big men, for sure. Burke/Richardson could even be useful replacements for Kemba. And there's the salary flexibility you already mentioned.
Dallas would really only miss Powell, and they would get a real playmaker in the deal. If the medical team in Dallas has any inclination that Kemba can be built back up physically, that could be a tempting gamble to get a PG they've obviously liked for a bunch of spare parts. The risk, of course, is that Kemba really is washed and they burned their trade balancing contracts to get him. But it's an interesting thought experiment -- how little would Boston have to ask for in return before you consider taking a flyer?
