I do think the Mavs are being more forward looking, but they'll want to compete while building up the roster. There is no reason to sign Kyrie otherwise and we will give him a massive contract. Nico also said that the FO isn't done. A lot of the piecemeal bigs on the roster might not even be here.
The uncertainty of Holmes does make this tough. The ideal answer is Powell on a min contract, but they might have to go BAE to keep him. If I read the numbers right, Kyrie will have to take a fairly big haircut to allow for both full MLE and BAE.
