Spotrac has jumped the gun on that trade by doing their sheets before the deal is actually finished. At this point, no one knows whether the TK will be paid, or if more teams/players might be added to the deal.
Let me add a trade idea that works from multiple angles IF the Mavs can get Bullock to extend his deadline:
Add-on to the OKC/SAC/DAL deal
Bullock (to be s-waived), McGee to ATL
Capela, Johnson to DAL
Holmes has to waive his TK (positive cap/tax implications for the Mavs)
End result -- Mavs are under Apron 1 and hard-capped, ATL is under tax line with room to spare. In fact, they could probably waive RB and not stretch him and still be under the tax line.
