Building Around Cooper: A Backward-Looking Thought Experiment

[Smitty]

That list of wings is ugly.

Yeah, the Guard options are much more attractive to me as well. 

That’s why I can’t dismiss the team taking a Wing with the Top-10 FRP and then trading an actual good Wing, like Naji or PJ, (because there aren’t any good ones on the market for those other teams either), for one of those guards via SnT. 
Or… another guard under contract, with the combination of the guys that have some value: Klay (expiring), Naji, PJW, Gafford. 
And/or simply signing one of the UFA’s with the MLE.

The next GM will have a good look at the whole landscape. The FRP will help set the plan for the Summer. The Mavs have a lot of options with their newfound financial flexibility.
