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

Man, I gotta say, I think DFS is a bench player. Most nights he's 1 dimensional with the occasional good shooting night where he ups his season 3%. If he starts cutting to the basket more like I've seen the last couple games that might redeem him a bit, but I really dislike his almost inability to put the ball on the floor on top of the up and down 3 shooting.

I much prefer Theis to Olynik (I see Theis as a much more mobile defender than Olynik, which I believe is much more needed next to KP), but I think OPJ is the clear starter we should want since he'll be at a price we can get him at.

Would love to find a way to get both OPJ and Holmes on top of Lowry. 

Would Lowry accept an $18M for 3 year offer? Would we want to do that to save some money? I like the idea of the not fully guaranteed 3rd year. I also wonder if Tor would accept a Powell, Burke and picks trade to facilitate a Lowry SnT (is something like that possible where salaries would be uneven?). Let Powell finish out his career in his native country?
