If Mavs could get Rozier and Holmes I like that starting lineup (assuming KP stays). Depending on what pieces move out you might have enough room for a decent shooter. Even if Mavs have a thinner bench I can live with that for one season. There's always the buyout market or TDL to try to add another bench piece.
This doesn't solve the KP-problem but maybe things improve after a full off-season and full 82 game season with less "rest games" needed.
I like that Rozier solves the scoring, playmaking gap in the starting lineup (shooting as well) and Holmes presents an upgrade over Powell in defense and scoring.
Powell Green is an interesting concept for them. It would add to cap space compared to Rozier and give them some cheap defensive help off the bench in Green. It leaves them to solve their own starting center issue and we’d be directly competing for Holmes potentially. I think they are a more logical home for Collins than we are and have some nice assets to offer Atlanta (or can just offer the max and hope Atlanta doesn’t match).
I’d do DP/JG for Rozier and McDaniels as Rozier can walk in a year. We lose $5.6mm in cap room in that deal, but that is still enough to offer a 0-6 max or two nice contracts averaging $14mm-ish. Use some on Holmes to get Holmes/KP/DFS/Rozier/Luka. Then, get a true sixth man type at SF/SG to go with a bench of WCS/Maxi/Brunson. Fills three holes without going nuts on spending for any one player and improves O and D. I like it.
