The branch of voodoo math known as "addition and subtraction"
Dirk $20,907,128
Marion $ 8,646,364
Chandler $13,604,188
total: $43,157,680
Rumored cap: $61,000,000
cap holds: $ 3,788,832 (8 rookie minimum salaries of $473,604)
Cap room: $14,053,488
Assume Tyson did give a "hometown discount" vs. what he signed for in New York, say a million bucks a year (about the difference in tax burden anyway), and you're at $15 million in cap space. So yes, this assumes the cap goes up, and that the Mavs could unload all their other contracts...but the numbers do add up, without the use of any sort of voodoo.
