There would be value to clearing enough cap to be able to use the full MLE. That amount would depend a lot on other moves we make, but I'm guessing somewhere in the 5-10 mil. after that, clearing cap space doesn't do much. In the case where you cleared 41 mil, that might get us to the point where we would have MLE amount of cap space, plus the non tax payer MLE. Thats shedding a ton of cap for a small exception. I would argue the Timmy and Holmes contracts would be much more useful as expiring contracts next offseason.
In the clearing $41M scenario the Mavs would actually be left with ~20M in actual cap space. Some of that could be used to resign Bridges or not. You would be able to use it on two or three players like Kyle Anderson and Hartenstein for example. Of course you could make more trades (Kyrie) to clear more or get a player that fits Luka better but I already made a long post about that.

We were the betting favorites for Siakam also
