It would be very easy for Mavs to trade for Favors and that #30 pick (JRich for example), but it really doesn't make sense to do it as long as we are keeping Powell and KP.

And send them what? It said they are looking for significant upgrade, as far as Ingles and Bogi are considered.
The Bulls are expected to be big spenders in the free-agency market, particularly at guard.
They have $24 million in non-guaranteed salary between Thaddeus Young and Tomas Satoransky, a $3 million team option on Ryan Arcidiacono, and much of the roster are restricted free agents.
Four names are tied to Chicago: Kyle Lowry, Dennis Schröder, Lonzo Ball, and Spencer Dinwiddie. Chicago wants a playmaking point guard next to Zach LaVine. The Bulls had extensive talks with New Orleans about a Ball trade at the deadline but weren’t able to reach a deal.
Lowry will be the toughest get. Philadelphia, Miami and New Orleans are among the expected suitors for Lowry. The Pelicans would have to find a taker for Eric Bledsoe to make such a deal happen.

The Jazz want an upgrade but they are also close to the tax line and still have to think about the Conley situation. Let´s say they want to add another max or near max player. That means they need to send out a lot of salary and I am not sure if the receiving team is willing to absorb all of it. Wouldn´t be suprised if a 3rd team with capspace (Mavs?) can steal one of them in exchange for a minor asset.

Ingles would be a perfect add. 45% 3-pt shooter, great ball-handler and not a negative defender. We can send Brunson/WCS in exchange (cheap backup guard/center) and they can retain Conley without going deep into tax.
Brunson+WCS for Favors+Ingles+#30.
Luka/MLE
Richardson/THJ
DFS/Ingles
Kleber/#30
KP/Favors/Powell

Sorry, but that would be a horrible offseason imho. Spending most of our cap on two role players and #30 pick, while sending out one of our best assets. You would have to renounce at least THJ to make this happen, you can't take them to cap space with his hold

Remove Favors and #30 then. Brunson is a good asset until the TDL.

I´m very hopeful the Bulls will make themselves a much worse team this off-season.
Losing Markkanen, Young, Satoransky and Arcidiacono to sign Spencer Dinwiddie sounds good to me.
Would you do
Brunson + THJ to Pelicans
Markkanen + White to Mavs
Ball + Kleber to Bulls
That Jrue steal will haunt Booker for a long time.

I think White, on offense is about the perfect lower money fit next to Luka. Don’t know about his defense though.

I'd play 3rd team here and ask for #10 and Eric Bledsoe.
I'd love a few years of Joe Ingles. He's the perfect team guy. I'm not sure we have the right assets to trade for him though.
I admit I'm a hypocrite. I would secretly love Simmons on the Mavs with Doncic, but I only want him cheap, saving enough money for a couple players with the shooting skill he lacks.
I think Steven Adams would work well here. If we could find a way to move Powell, Adams would be the perfect 5 off the bench.
Really interested in Bledsoe if #10 is attached. Bledsoe is a good place holder next to Luka AND #10 is more young talent on a rookie contract.
Also LOVE Adams and think he would be incredible as a screen setter with Luka.
