Trade & FA 2024-25:

I don't think Portis belongs on the list, but I could see the others. 

The only one I, personally, would be excited about is DFS. Portis obviously helps, but I don't think he's available (at least not to a team like the Mavs). I like Avdija, but I don't think there's room for him here anymore, and I don't think you get much from him you're not already getting from Marshall. I guess it's debatable which of those two you'd rather have (Avdija or Marshall), but I'd lean towards the guy who's already here, already fits, and playing better and better (with THIS team) on a consistently upward trajectory. 

I have just as little interest in Thybulle as I did when they offered that contract, and consider Portland matching a notch on the "Mavs got saved from themselves" list.

Yep, I agree about Thybulle. 
Plus, we need a bigger defender.
DFS just makes sense for us, and I think he'd embrace a lesser role than he had when we traded him.
He does check just about every box (veteran, experienced with system, great locker room presence, can guard 1-4, and can shoot the 3).

And honestly, I think losing PJ would be more detrimental to the team right now than losing either Luka or Kyrie. DFS would be a cheap way to somewhat mitigate the risk of losing PJ for any length of time.
Plus looking ahead, he'd also be some insurance if Grimes becomes too expensive to re-sign.
It would really be sweet if Nico could somehow pull off a Maxi/Morris/Two 2nds for DFS.
