Without a little creativity Mavs will have a really hard time improving. It is not that I am asking for two all stars. So if THJ is 15 mil, there is 19 mil available for that FA guy. Getting "rid" of Kleber or Powell gets the thing done. JRich opting in would make things a bit more complicated.
If you are credible (by signing Masai for example), can you convince Lowry to sign for 20 mil in year 1?
I am curious what this creativity would be? I'm not sure we have the assets to dump Powell and I would not be interested in "dumping" Maxi just to sign THJ. I would rather keep Maxi and Sign McDermott. Maybe we could dump Burke (what a terrible contract that turned out to be). Just because we hire Masai does not mean Lowery is going to take a significant pay cut to come here. Honestly, my bet is he goes to Miami regardless of who our GM is.
