I think we can only sign one max player. Parsons would have a 16m+ cap hold if he opts out and only way to remove that would be renounce him, but then we can't go over to resign him to what many are saying is 20m+. Even if we moved the 9.4m of JJ+Harris+Evans and renounce Felton, Zaza, and Cv3.. then cut the non guarantee of Mejri and McGee we wouldn't have enough for 2 max(Deron only 1 year so no cap hold/rights).

Wes 17.1
CP 16.3
Dirk 8.7
Simba 1.5
Powell(Qualifying)1.2

Just gonna call it 45. Cap is estimated 89m. 45m left isn't enough for 2 full max.

If we could get DH12 for around 25m instead of his 30m, that would leave us with almost 20m to fill out the roster(only 14m if Dwill opts in) with some bench options like Ryan Anderson, Mozgov, Mahinmi, Lee, Crawford, or Jr Smith(not a fan of smith but w/e).... Of course we have to factor in Dwill's projected salary(no idea what it would be since his stats are right there or close to guys like Conley and Teague) if he opts out which makes Howard + Dwill + bench a little difficult to look at. Pau Gasol could be a cheaper option than Howard if he opts out, in which case we would have more wiggle room for some of the free agents and Dwill. If we did move Harris and JJ we could look at Chalmers or Vasquez as a backup to Dwill or if there was a pg available for trade using their contracts or SnT using Felton or Zaza.... rly just a lot of options which is a good thing IMO.

I'm not sure we outright renounce Zaza and Felton though because they could have some value as SnT candidates(Zaza Cap Hold is a shade under 10m and Felton 7m). I guess the Mavs will have to gauge what their value is respective to their cap holds. Harris also in 2017 is only guaranteed 1.4 of his 4.4m which could be a small chip to remove some future cap for a team in a trade.
