I've spoken ad nauseum about how Dallas should go after John Collins. However, he's a restricted free agent. Richuan Holmes is an unrestricted free agent who would command less than Collins. I think Holmes is a better defender than Collins. Assuming J-Rich opts out (which who knows at this point...he may very well opt-in), could we sign Holmes and Norman Powell (who is also an unrestricted free agent)? Portland is in salary cap hell. If they end up in a play-in tournament, lose and not make the playoffs, will Portland simply blow it up? Will they just let Powell go and not resign him? If we get Holmes and Powell, how would you like this roster?
Luka
Powell
DFS
Holmes
KP
Brunson
Burke
Green
Kleber
Powell
Bey, Terry and Hinton rounding out the bench. Still have the rMLE to sign another player. The bench would be a little weak in my view...so if we could trade Powell and draft capital for Holmes...we could possibly resign THJ to strengthen our bench. No question...it's a big offseason for Dallas.
