Current Klay would be great in like a Sam Hauser role in a playoff rotation and the Mavs do need to get some shooting back after going heavy on defense as of late but it seems like he's still going to get too much money just for his name. Multiyear deal at around ~20m seems pretty bad. I think a lot of needed improved 3 point shooting can come from internal development from the current roster.
I think the whole Gafford convo is worth revisiting. It does seem like the Mavs coaching staff prefers Maxi over Gafford in a lot of matchups and they ended up playing Gafford & Lively way out on the perimeter to start defensive possessions vs Boston like they're Powell a ton. Still say they should keep Gafford at least until the TDL, he deserves that, but if they're gonna end up using him like Powell in their system anyway it may be best to trade him for a big wing/small ball 5 Maxi upgrade.
