I am not in the camp that believes THT will be a Mavs target but Mavs could still get at least one more starter in addition to Holmes for that cap space.
Mavs top 9 would look something like:
Luka
FA playmaker / Brunson
DFS / FA shooter
Holmes / Powell
KP / Maxi
Yep. Make that FA playmaker a two way player, and you now have a really good defense. Conley is probably too expensive, but you might be able squeeze in Lowry, or maybe Ball, Schroder or Graham. Feel like that team would be a big upgrade from what we have now (and unless it's Lowry you just upgraded with two young starters).
It's a shame we did not get Bey or Bane (or both) in the draft. I would have felt comfortable penciling either (or both) of those guys into the rotation next year (or even this year). Still not sure why we went for three projects in a shortened Covid year when trying to make the playoffs with a coach who has limited patience for projects.
