I just looked at the numbers and if they somehow traded Pau for pure cap they would potentially have enough.
Assuming cap # of around 60m next season. That gives them 35m free. Dwight will close 20m. CP3 18m. So they're still short, unless they can also dump one of Metta, Blake or Hill. But then their team is Nash/CP3/Dwight and ?!?!?!?!?!?
Not sure it's a smart move unless Dwight/CP3 take a pay cut.

I thought the cap was around 70 mil.

Teams will have to pay a maximum amount if they completely blow by a tier, increasing from $7.5 million to $8.75 million, then $12.5 million and $16.25 million respectively. This year’s cap is $70.307 million, and next season’s will be roughly the same.

Just like the Heat, by year 3,they can add solid vets for cheap and be a real force.
