TRADE: JRich to BOS | $10.8M TPE + Moses Brown (7'1.25", 7'4.75" wingspan) to DAL

[F Gump]

The TPE lasts a year, but only if we don't try to spend all of our potential $34mm in cap room.  If we do need all of that space, we will have to renounce the TPE.  If we only need $23mm in space, we can keep the TPE and use it as a contract with a $1.0mm advantage over MLE players.  If we keep THJ, we can stay over the cap and have the TPE and the MLE.  One can replace JRich and one can bring in something new.

1 In light of the salary numbers being mentioned for Lowry, the Mavs best route (assuming they do sign him) would be to get him via over cap SNT, in order to be able to (a) keep the TPE and (b) be able to re-sign THJ.

2 Sign and trade would require one of the following scenarios to amass enough outgoing salary - (a) use KP, (b) use Maxi, or ( c) use Redick in an outgoing snt. If it comes to one of those, we may see how the Mavs (and others) reaaalllllly assess KP's value.
