Actually, the Mavs have bird rights on Powell. There is no need to spend any MLE on him. The only issue is the tax line and staying under it for the full MLE. Lot of moving parts regarding where that line is. The other option is they do an S&T with Wood for somebody worth more than the MLE and operate in the tax. At that point they can sign Powell at what they need to and still have the tax MLE.
