Antoine Waived
Rig has always planned to play in Europe. Including him in the trade was done as a favor to the mavs. Even though Rig was not going to play, his salary was going to count for luxury tax purposes. So the Mavs, even though they weren't going to pay Rigadou's salary, they were on the hook for the tax on his salary. Including him in the trade, released the Mavs of that liability. GS, not being close to the luxury tax, doesn't have to worry about it.
As for AJ, Cuban and Donnie did speculate that they might do something with Avery IF he were waived. I don't think they ever said they thought he would be waived.
