It wouldn't matter if he was pulled outside to the perimeter because the Mavs have such big wings. Bullock, DFS, and Kleber would be the best group he's ever played with on D.
I think Gobert and a couple of backup wings would solve the majority of their problems. I know exactly what you mean about not getting caught up with trying to beat one team. I'm thinking that would give them the versatility to beat pretty much any team out there. It would at least give them a fighting chance. And when you have a guy like Luka that's all you need.
In my mind we have two options this offseason, go for the big move now to make us true contenders next season, or shore up the gapping holes (sign Brunson and get a center) and make the big move the following offseason, when we have access to all of our picks and a little more room to maneuver with contracts.
If we are going big move this offseason, then its hard to see a better target than Gobert. He is a perfect fit with Luka, and by far the highest impact player that will actually be available and possibly attainable with our limited assets (due to his enormous contract).
Personally my preference would be to shore up the center position this offseason, and then make the big move next offseason for an elite two way player that would fit with Luka (like the Bucks did with Jrue), but I could be talked into Gobert if the price was right.
