2 Sign and trade would require one of the following scenarios to amass enough outgoing salary - (a) use KP, (b) use Maxi, or ( c) use Redick in an outgoing snt. If it comes to one of those, we may see how the Mavs (and others) reaaalllllly assess KP's value.
We have enough room now that I'm not sure there's a way to operate over the cap in a KP for Lowry deal unless 1) Lowry is making the most he possibly can in that trade (i.e., eating into our cap room) and other pieces like Kleber, Powell, et al. are outgoing for bigger salary as well.
If we traded KP for SnT Lowry, I would rather not offer Lowry more than 3/90 (in which case we still have $33M in cap room), clear more cap room, and go after Holmes. I'd also rather Norm Powell than THJ in that scenario, but a man can't be too greedy.
Lowry
Powell
Luka
DFS
Holmes
If we could get Ball instead of Lowry, then Ball-Powell-Holmes would be close to being my ideal offseason.
