By all accounts, the largest contract that Sacramento could have signed Holmes was 4 years 46.5 million not the reported 4 years 55 million (which by the way is nothing in this market...all things considered). I would have loved to pair Holmes with KP. He tweeted that he loved Sacramento and did a hashtag "4 more years" and promptly deleted it. He's an unrestricted free agent. Is there any way Dallas could get him while still acquiring Dragic? This offseason which is currently a "B" in my opinion would be an "A+" if we could get Holmes to agree to sign with Dallas.
We need a PF. I think Dallas had some interest in Bobby Portis. I personally think Holmes is better and would fit like a glove in Big D.
The problem that exists with an S&T is that Holmes wants more than the average salary which is pretty much where the Mavs TE sits.
Sacramento is in a very untenable position due to not having cap space or an exception other than the Early Bird Rights (again avg salary)
Anything over 6 million will trigger BYC on Holmes... so it isn't easy being pleasey in this scenario
