Sac is in a hard spot with Sabonis. He’s one of those guys who won’t extend because 120% of his 23/24 salary is below his market. One work around is getting about $14mm under the cap next season so they can renegotiate and extend to avoid Sabonis making it to UFA. They currently sit about $30mm under the cap next season with 8 players and without Barnes or T. Davis (and without using exceptions to improve the roster). No way they can do all they need to do for $16mm. But, find a way off of Holmes and maybe they stand a chance.
I think they would pay someone to swap Holmes for an expiring deal. The problem for Dallas is Holmes has a PO for 2025.
