Sign me up for Holmes after watching that.  Two way center that we could really use right now.

Interesting that everyone thinks we would need to move Powell to make the money work, I see it more as a "if KP is moved this is the new guy" sort of signing and you have either Holmes or Powell on the floor at all times so that we always have a hard rim runner on the court.

Ya I think its more likely that Holmes would happen in a KP-less situation, which I don't predict happening this offseason.

Signing Holmes, while keeping both KP and Powell is possible on paper but also unlikely to me. That's a lot of money to spend on the frontcourt. I imagine Holmes can get something like the Wood contract we saw last year that was 3/41.

My opinion is that Mavs will prioritize playmaking/scoring guards/wings over shoring up the "big" rotation. They might look at Holmes but I think it would be too late. Some team like Charlotte will make Holmes their number 1 priority and get him inked probably pretty quickly.

If you paid Holmes say 13 out of 35 mil cap space you still have a good chunk of money for an impact player or 2 pretty good 10 mil dollar pieces. I wouldn't be against the approach at all, it would be a hedge against KP in case he needs to get moved. If KP is unhappy then you can move him (for perhaps a backcourt player) and still have a good big rotation with Holmes and Maxi.

Just knowing MBT and how they operate they will go a different direction.
