Biggest needs now are a center and PF. SnT is realistically off the table as Mavs will be over the hard cap line. All they have regarding FA is rMLE.
Best option for a trade is draft night where Mavs have the 2022 pick and 2027 one available. If they don't do it on draft night, the options in the summer are again extremely limited until the 2023 pick converts. We have seen that a couple of serious contenders generated serious flexibility. Miami has 2022 and 2023 FRP available for trade. BKN has the two Philly picks. So both teams have arguably better picks than Mavs and not worse contracts to play in trades. Mavs need a serious "Robin", Miami and BKN are perfectly fine getting a third banana type of player. Breaktrough Memphis has 3 picks in 2022 alone and a horde of decent contracts. Golden state, Chicago, Milwaukee and Denver will all have picks in this draft too.
Mavs execution will be on a real test, but I am starting to prepare myself that 2022-23 team will be very similar to what we have now.
