offseason. I doubt Toronto would want to have anything to do with Powell (or other non expiring contract). Would you do Johnson+THJ+Brunson for Lowry and Powell?

Considering that Toronto is apparently interested in Drummond, I think they're also hurting for a big man.

I've started to come around THJ. I know he's streaky as all hell, but he's shown to be a valued locker room guy and he seems okay with coming off the bench.

Lowry's salary is certainly tricky to match, but the Mavs theoretically can get it done for Johnson+WCS+Brunson+Burke

Seems like a bunch of spare parts, but if we added draft compensation, the Mavs are essentially swapping Johnsons/WCS expiring salaries with Lowry's, and giving Toronto a good young PG on a rookie deal in Brunson.

That's not that bad of package for an almost 35 year old all-star PG that's expiring himself.

how do we feel about Kyle Lowry?

I REALLY like Lowry. He's a winner. Dude just makes heady basketball plays and does everything he can to win. He's a good defensive guard as well and doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective. He's basically a toned down version (contract and player wise) of CP3, who I wanted the Mavs to get as well. 

We need some vet leadership and I think Lowry could establish a great culture and locker room here and can be had for a relatively cheap price.
