Would much rather give Richaun Holmes 15 mil a year if we're going to overpay a role player since the clear role he'd have here would play exactly to his strengths.
For 34 mil you should easily be able to get both if that's what you wanted to do. I think J Rich is garbage so Graham is a big upgrade there. Brunson is good as a 6th man but doesn't really distribute and has trouble scoring against really long defenders like both LAC and LAL. Plus the fact that there's no guarantee you can keep Brunson. Mavs might need to trade him next year before he hits UFA if they don't think they can keep him, in which case having his replacement would be ideal.
Holmes is an upgrade over Powell, so you at least get 2 starter upgrades for the money.
