The crucial thing for Mavs is to improve top talent on the team. We have too many role players and lack top talent. Despite declining, Lowry is still miles better than anything we have. And fits perfectly next to Luka.
Besides, free agency is not a supermarket where you just pick whoever you want. Who says any of those guys you listed wants to come to Dallas. Powell was the only one mentioned as having Mavs on his "wishlist".
They might get overpaid for what they are but they can get better. For example Collins will get a max which he is not worth today, but what if he improves to become an allstar. Last year Christian Wood got a big deal but he got better, the same for Jerami Grant and Julius Randle. I don't see Lowry as a good fit with Luka. Luka is a point guard, who needs the ball. Lowry is not a scorer he cannot guard the inside where the Mavs had a layup line last year.
