Just thinking out loud...JRich's cap hold is $17mm. I think the team would be better off getting him to opt into his $11.6mm and then doing an extension that overpays in the out years.. It is close, but I think you can trade Powell and S&T Hardaway and get to the $26.8mm match number for GA and retain Maxi.
So, KP/Giannis/DFS/JRich/Luka would be your starters and Maxi, Bey, Green, Terry, Brunson and Burke would make up the rest of the roster. You'd want to operate over the cap and do things in the right order. If so, you'd have the MLE, BAE and minimum slots and you would be hard capped (but it shouldn't be an issue). I think the primary bench would be Maxi/Green/Brunson/Burke. You'd really need Green to step up and you'd probably need a 4/3 type to replace Johnson using the MLE.
Edit: BTW, did I mention that Duffy is the agent we'd be working with regarding the extension for JRich?
