"Sources tell The Stein Line that Dallas will be looking to add a capable starter this summer who can later transition into a complementary role once Irving has returned to active duty."
The words "capable starter" in this case is interesting. I assume that would be a PG that is currently not a starter, but is "capable" of managing team with heavy minutes. With Kyrie missing much of the season, any backup rotation player from another team will get a chance to be a "starter" in Dallas. I suppose that could be inviting for someone like Tyus Jones who couldn't find many minutes late in the season with Phoenix, but still averaged about 25 mpg.
I'm not sure it rules out current starters from other teams, but I would suspect players like Holiday and Derrick White would not be the players one would imagine transitioning into backup roles with the return of Kyrie. Certainly the salaries wouldn't suggest a backup role.
The words, "capable starter" makes me think Dallas is looking for a solid rotation PG with a history of playing maybe 20-25 mpg at the very least.
