Jrue Holiday (max). This means no THJ or JRich or MLE and the Bucks probably keep him anyways
Kyle Lowry (2/25). Prolly can't fit either THJ or JRich (unless he opts in) but would have cap slightly more than MLE
Mike Conley (2/20). Should be able to keep one of THJ/JRich. Does Utah let him go?
Demar DeRozan (3/20). Should be able to keep one of THJ/JRich. Makes most sense as 6th man. Does he want to do that?
Lowry/Conley/Derozan could all be possible with one of THJ/Richardson re-signing. For instance, a stretch-waive of Powell and moving WCS (or not picking up his option) would allow you to give 25m to a free agent and 16m to THJ or Richardson. Burke is pretty movable too if necessary.
