I agree the Mavs are going to go for a veteran, but I don't think it will be DeRozan. I think the Mavs are seriously going to go all in for Lebron this summer as a SnT. THJ+Maxi+Hardy+Green+2031 first for Lebron+Bronny. 

Mavs have to try and convince DJJ to take the TP-MLE and we hope OMax can grow into a Maxi replacement next season (which I don't think is that crazy of an idea).

We then hope to get a ring chasing vet min as a shooter off the bench using Lebron's Klutch connections like Gary Harris, Fournier, Trent Jr., Burks, Patty Mills, or maybe even Dinwiddie. Heck Kevin Love could even be a reasonable option as a break in case of emergency. Makes sense too for Lebron to get his old Cleveland guys back together around Luka and allows us to play 5 out.

Luka/Exum
Kyrie/Dinwiddie/Bronny
Lebron/DJJ
PJ/OMax/Morris
Gafford/Lively/Love/Powell

This team retains basically all the core players from the run and adds Lebron James to it for a final push for a ring.

YUCK! Do not want LeGramps. It isn't going to work, at all. Who's your POA defender?

Do I need to start calling you LeSleepyHero?

If you want to see Lebron playing with Kyrie again, then trade Luka to the Lakers for Lebron... or for AD, and let Lebron join the Mavericks as a free agent.
