Mavs trade Kristaps Porzingis to the OKC Thunder for Al Horford and Lu Dort.

And other off season ideas:

1. Trade JRich, JGreen and Tyler Terry for Rucky Rubio,
2. Sign THJ for 20M/year for 3 years
3. Sign Theis for Full MLE,
4. Sign PJ Tucker for BAE,

Potential Roster

Starters:
PG Luka
SG Lu Dort
SF THJ
PF DFS
C Horford

Bench:
PG JB
SG Rubio
SF Tucker
PF Maxi
C Theis

Lu Dort will provide elite perimeter defense alongside Luka. Is an improved scorer. Can and will improve as a shooter.

Horford will provide veteran leadership with years of playoff experience.

Rubio will provide ball-handling, playmaking off the bench. Can potentially play alongside Luka as another perimeter defender.

Theis will provide versatile defense, can shoot the three, roll to the basket, has a mid range shot, will provide hussle and energy off the bench.

Yes he is an excellent passer but he is terrible at shooting. Like one of the worst guards in the league at shooting.
Many better options before the Mavs would even consider Rubio.

But, you really get him for his defense and ability to handle the ball when Luka is not and not turn it over unlike JRich. He is a legit floor general that can run the offense efficiently whenever Luka is not on the floor.

CP3, Lowry, Conley, DeRozan, Collins, Ball, Graham, Robinson

Following guys are something I would call a meh option, but still satisfied. Grade C

Markkanen, Holmes, Allen, Robinson, Trent

Anything else I give a bad grade, unless there are two solid players coming (while keeping THJ and KP), for example OPJ and THT. Although I don't think we can utilize so many palyers, taking into account another two for rMLE and BaE.

There are a million possible non THJ or non KP or non both options, so impossible to give anything in advance.

If we’re keeping THJ, don’t we also have to figure out a way to work over the cap to get the full MLE? I think that has to be the case otherwise the score can be no better than C+.
