The salary for these guys were taken from spotrac and added up. I added Holmes' full trade kicker of 15%. The total salary including the MLE+Pinson was: 170,971,123
Seth's deal would put them at 175,487,123 in total salary for 15 players. So yes, Mavs need to shed about 3.2 mil in salary to have access to the full MLE.
Further putting more rumors together, Powell is almost a certain to be back. We have 15 guys under roster if we're including the MLE, Seth, and Pinson.
Almost certain McGee needs to either be dumped or S/W.
Or Powell gets what is left after the trade and we don’t use the MLE. Access to better players through trade anyway.
