I have seen in several places that the Mavs can offer more money, so if that it is incorrect it's widely incorrect.
I think - and I'm no CBA expert - it means that if a player is bought out then some portion of that contract is paid for by the new team the player signs with based on the prorated amount remaining (I think). So the original team gets to save a little money for a player they no longer want/need and the player gets to move to a different team without losing money. Win-win. But because the amount is based on the original contract the player can't get additional money, so the fact that the Mavs have more available doesn't have an impact.
At least that's my understanding.
