ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[F Gump]

I've been threatening to do a Collin Sexton post for a while, but just haven't felt motivated.

I have fiddled a bit with Sexton ideas, but I keep coming back to the obstacle of multiple rules that get in the way. As I quickly peruse your thoughts, a few questions:

1  A bit of mathiness for future reference -- I do show that DET could do THJ-Kemba into cap room, using Spotrac numbers, but my math may be off, I dunno. By my maths, the fit is very tight, to be sure - only $1,579 left over. But my bigger question on that end is, why would Mavs do THJ for Kemba, if they are getting Sexton (which would make Kemba useless)?
2 So I think the DET preparation would have to be THJ-for-Burks, which doesn't get you under the apron before doing Sexton, but you're close enough (only about 200K over).
3 But then, on the Sexton end, you are never getting $5M of latitude anyhow -- you were only getting a cushion of 575K or less. Now with Burks from DET, the Sexton salary has to be LESS than what you send out for the CLE end of things. As you note, this means yet another team in the mix to take some of that salary, since CLE can't take it all.
4 CLE would have two issues to deal with - one is BY on Sexton, and the other is total payroll. Their reported offer to Sexton (about 12.6M) is at a number that leaves them under the tax (they are about 13M under), and I bet that's their limit. But is Powell + Frank enough (the most they can take while staying under the tax line) enough to make them interested?

At the end of the day, I keep ending up thinking there are too many mouths to feed, to make Sexton workable.
