If we have really lost out on Lowry, then the best examples I have of how this free agency could go deeply south for the Mavs are Oubre and Derozan. I firmly believe that if you give either of those guys a multiyear at around $20M per, you have 1) made your on-court team substantially worse (I was on board with Derozan for a brief time because of his playmaking/midrange scoring, but on further reflection NO), and 2) cluttered up your roster with another albatross contract. To me, either of those would be far worse than Lowry at 3/90.
On the other hand, if the Mavs move from THJ and do Holmes/N. Powell, that's enormously better than Lowry would have been.
