Hard Cap

This trade would result in the Mavericks crossing the tax apron of ($178.1M) while hardcapped at the 1st apron. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $2.0M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Cut $3.7M from the Mavericks incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Mavericks.
