I also think Holiday is going to stay for sure, that would be way too steep of a price for the Bucks to pay for a rental so I think he'll get whatever he wants there (he's also a fantastic fit there). If Lowry considered us that would be interesting but the trade deadline makes me think we aren't on his radar. Conley seems like the only potential get.
Along the secondary playmaker lines though, I'm VERY interested to see what the Pacers do with Brogdon this offseason and what kind of package they'd be looking at if they were to move him.
I guess I'm willing to take the risk on Lowry because it's next to impossible to find guards that can shoot, defend, and create shots for their teammates. Dallas is currently paying THJ to do the first, Richardson the 2nd, and Brunson the 3rd. Unless their training staff finds a way to fuse those three into one human being, Lowry seems like the best way to open the window (short term) for championship contention.
Brogdon would be an amazing fit, but the Mavs will probably be outbid by half the league if he's made available.
