That is why you need to have some back-up salary dumps ready to go in the unlikely event the Mavs are suddenly flush with FAs ready to sign on the dotted line. Is there a rule that you have to make these offers sequentially to be sure there is no chance you go over the cap? If there is, then I am not aware of it.
I am not real excited about signing another injured player with a huge contract either. But, it seems to me if Klaw wants in on the Mavs future, then you have to consider that as tempting.
I totally agree that waiting for the #1 star theoretically on the FA market is a bad idea, and one that has blown up in the face of the MBT time and time again. In many ways, I would rather see the Mavs make a winning offer to someone like Holmes to help fix one glaring problem rather than ending up empty handed. While Holmes does not solve the most glaring problem for the Mavs, he does help solve a problem.

They probably make calls to Kwi, maybe the Wizz, but I certainly think they are smart enough not to pass up on more realistic targets like Holmes, DDR etc.
