One thing I wonder - is Townsend speculation about needing vet help coming from him or is that MBT way of preparing fanbase for summer results
It worked in Toronto, but FVV is a stronger defender than Brunson. Yes on the latter point, but Lowry is a name that I suspect casual fans will be pleased with. So, I'm not sure how much preparing needs to happen.
My perfect summer would still include trading Powell. That 10 mil could make a big difference. Example - Orlando might be totally willing for a OPJ SnT for Powell and draft compensation. Lowry+OPJ+rotation big (Olynik or Theis)
Doncic, Brunson
Lowry, Green
OPJ, DFS
Olynik, Maxi
KP, BaU center
My interest in putting money in a non-guaranteed 3rd year for Lowry is to get a better guy in the Olynyk/Theis role you envision. I'd move Burke instead of Powell and see if I can get Holmes in the $15mm/$16mm range. Lowry/Holmes would be a great off-season. I think DFS is likely to be starter, especially if you can upgrade two other starting spots. I was a big advocate of OPJ a few years ago, but he's entering Dipo territory for me. I think there are some Caruso-like names out there for rMLE money who could backup DFS while we wait for Green/Bey to grow up a little
