Good poll, although I could choose several answers. For example, I don't have a problem standing pat till summer (Mavs are not in a good position to trade at TDL), but absolutely want them to make a move then. Still, I won't choose the last option.
Option not listed would also be a possibility, especially in the summer. Some interesting players will have player options in the summer (LeBron, Kawhi, George for example). BKN will need to decide about Bridges by next TDL. I could also consider some "poor man versions" like Tobias Harris, DeAndre Hunter or similar.
In general, I don't think there is a perfect player checking all the boxes. We are looking for third best player and these type of guys have their flaws. Siakam is not a good shooter, Grant is a worse rebounder, Markanen is a worse defender. I have most doubts with Markanen, but Mavs probably don't have the assets for him anyway, even in the summer.
That is why I pick "any of them" option, which would include the "other options".
