Ok, so what can we expect if they miss out on Thompson?

Dan has already said he'd just pencil Green into the starting lineup and go to war with what's already here. They can avoid the tax if they go that route, right, or am I missing something?

Are there any other dark horse additions that could be had for Green and/or Kleber we should discuss?

I agree the Mavs could/should be done with the roster as is, if they strike out on Klay. I disagree that Green would start. Pretty clear that would be Naji or Grimes to me. As far as who could be had for Green and/or Kleber. A name that has been mentioned plenty here and a known Mavs target: Thybulle. 

They wanted him to start last year. Sending out Maxi makes Naji your backup 4 and Thybulle the starting 3. Sending out Green gives Hardy a bigger role (kinda).
