How about sending AD to Charlotte for Kon Knueppel and the Mavs pick back? I really like Kon's style of play at SG, and he was teammates with Coop at Duke.
The Hornets will want to see what they have in Kon, so probably won't. You never know though. The new owners might be willing to do it for a big name like Anthony Davis.
The trade could look something like this.
Mavs will need to waive 2 players: Exum and Powell are expiring or D'lo.
Hornets roster:
1-5: Lamelo, Sion, Miller, AD, Kalkbrenner
6-10: Mann, Reeves/Connaughton, Naji, Bridges, Plumlee/Diabate
Mavs roster:
1-5: Kyrie, Kon, Coop, PJW, Lively
6-10: Sexton/BWill, Christie, JGreen, GWill, Gafford
+ 2026 Mavs pick
+ 2027 Mavs pick
Question: Would you still do this trade if the Hornets did not attach the 2027 Mavs pick?
(I probably would, because I'm all about that "yute" movement.)
