I think if you add DFS to a KP for JB deal (where JB gets a max extension like CP3 did when he was traded to Houston) then Miami rolls out:

Lowry (FA)
Robinson (resigned)
DFS
Bam
KP

Which is pretty good tho it depends on KP being a difference maker of course.

Mavs would have something like:

Luka
Butler
THJ
Maxi (maybe healthy again)
DP

+ 10+ mil or so impact player with cap space or MLE.

The Butler fit with Luka would be interesting.  They are both ball dominant and Butler is not much of a three point shooter.  It would be a little bit like DeRozan offensively.  Defensively he would be perfect.

I wonder if Miami would be interested in an opted in Jrich instead of DFS?  He was at his best there.  It would be ironic if they were traded for each other again.  Then we would hopefully get Theis for the MLE and start Theis/DFS/Butler/Luka/THJ with Powell/Maxi/Green/Brunson bench.

Otherwise we would actually have closer to 15 mil in cap space.  Maybe that is enough to get Holmes (probably get outbid by Charlotte).  Another option would be to trade JRich for a quality rotational player and spend the MLE on another.  We would want to get a defensive center (like a Theis) and another rotational wing (like a McDermott).  

This would be a risk due to Luka/Butler chemistry and paying Butler that much for that long, but you would have to pull the trigger.
