He's actually part of my offseason prediction for the Mavs. That includes Spencer Dinwiddie opting out of BKN too. Clashing with Kyrie and playing 7 mins of basketball behind Harden now isnt going to do his value in 2022 any favors. Dallas can sign him to the same $20M he opted out of. Win win for both sides. Dallas doesnt need to overpay anyone the max, brings THJ and RIchardson back at decent deals, and signs Holmes using the MLE for $5M per.
C- Porzingis / WCS / Boban
PF- Kleber / Holmes / Powell
SF- RIchardson / DFS
SG- Dinwiddie / THJ
PG - Doncic / Brunson
That 2nd team is still strong. Hallmark of a true contender.
If they could find a way to bring him, Dinwiddie, and 1 of Richardson/THjr back that would be a great offseason.

RIght.. right.
Just checked. Holmes is 27, Diwght Powell is 29. I dont see Powell getting another contract after this, so now is the time to groom a replacement for a succession plan. I can see Carlisle starting Holmes over Kleber. Holmes is what Nerlens Noel should have been had Noel not been a dumb ass.
Dinwiddie averages 7 assists per game. That's very attractive as a secondary playmaker off Luka. And can create his own offense too and not stand in the corner ala THJ. Mavs have done this type of deal with Deandre Jordan before where he opted out of LA, and paid him the same amount he would earn that year. Mavs can pay him the same $20M so he doesnt lose anything. Dallas saves money by not jumping the gun and paying Oladipo $35M.
