I know you're adamant. Adamant should be your middle name! :-)
I know that defense and playmaking as are a premium and a need, but shooting and scoring at THJ's level is an asset as well.

I really want to make a joke about your parents not loving you enough to let you live in the house but you are too loveable for that type of tomfoolery.

Copycat league....CP3 was a success in PHX, now everyone thinks if they sign Lowry they are going to the NBA Finals. They are FALSE.

Same. Give me two MLE level bigs. For example Olynyk and Theis. Keep one out of Kleber/Powell. Have Boban as the mascot and for special occasions.
Trade KP for the best available guard/wing talent. Sign the best available guard/wing talent.

Well, you don't exactly KNOW that. We knew we needed playmaking and could use a vet b4 CP3 became all the old man rage.

I think you're in for a disappointing evening on Monday. Either we get Lowry, or from pursuing Lowry, we miss out on the other big 'uns.

Of course, speaking in hyperbole but believe the odds are in my favor.
To Lowry: I am cool with him as a stop gap for two years (but still don't LIKE the move). Cannot do three. Totally disagree with such a decision.

If neither Collins or Holmes are a Mav come next week my energy toward Nico is going to shift negative pretty quick (unless there is some clever combination of players he pulls out of his hat that I cannot yet see).

If THT isn't in a Mavs jersey this offseason is a complete disaster.

If they love their KP in blue, you're likely to be a Nico hater.
I would love Holmes at the right price. I get the sense that Collins is kind of off the board (staying in Atlanta).
so what if Mavs plan is to get Lowry near a max deal on a 2 year deal but they lose THJ to do so.
With the cap clearing pan, they may have enough to give Dragic a deal and then use the room exception on someone.
Luka, Lowry, DFS ? KP
Brunson, Dragic, Room exception, Kleber, cheap center.
The main issue with this plan is cap matching for trades will just be impossible this year. you would only be able to get up to somewhere around 20 mill until Dragic became available.
if you sign Lowry in FA, THJ would be useful to sign just for salary matching
