Stein mentioned Ball and Paul early on along with Jrue.  So, those two are still on my list. 

In other news, Zach Lowe says he's hearing Boston could be a facilitator in a Durant deal with Jrue Holiday going somewhere besides Phoenix.  Phoenix seems to want a center and has been turned down on Poeltl and Ware and probably doesn't want to pay Gobert.   Maybe Gafford ends up in Phoenix,  

When I was writing this I had an entire paragraph devoted to Green coming to Dallas and Gafford going to Phoenix.  I pulled it because it muddled the main point I wanted to make.  I'm not a Green fan, but he's not trash.  He is overpaid for the role he's best suited for (and that isn't the Ant Edwards Alpha role).  Someone in Phoenix needs to go.  I don't see Dallas as the most likely destination, but I could hold my nose and build a package around Gafford and depth.  At that point, your youth movement is Flagg, Lively, Christie and Green.
