Dipo is one such example and I would consider it, at low price of course. I don't think Mavs can afford to overpay guys who had career seasons. Holmes is an example - I would be extremely affraid paying him 20 per which he is reportedly looking for. There is risk their performance drops.
It's a delicate balance for sure. My issue with Dipo outside of a 1-year inexpensive contract is, even if he turn it around, do you want to offer him a long term contract after that? He'd be 30 and you'd still have the injury concerns. I just don't see the future in it.
Holmes at 20m is a tough sell for me too. He'll be 28 but his past two seasons have had very similar production.
On the flip side, it is hard to grab really young, up-and-coming talent.
