1 A literal "salary match" is probably part of what it would take for a UT-DAL swap.
UT is about $2M under the tax line, per Spotrac numbers, so will be looking for the same salary or less in any trade. Cuban is already avoiding having a 15th man due to the tax ramifications, so will also be looking for the same or less.
2 There are several probably-helpful Jazz players that might be of some use to Dallas, but there's really not an ideal fit. Some wouldn't be better than what Mavs already have. I'm guessing Mavs would be very selective.
3 If Ainge has to have a pick to be willing to deal, I think DAL would walk away.
