Let´s just look at this realistically from an asset POV.
None of us wants to trade Doncic, Brunson, DFS, Bullock or Kleber.
THJ´s value is at the lowest point, because he just needed about six months to recover from a broken foot.
Powell, Brown, Burke, Boban have been unplayable in the play-offs. They are all on expiring contracts. Value will increase over time.
Bertans has the longest and worst contract. He´s untradeable. He has not improved his value by shooting 40/37/83 with a whooping 4.1 PPG / 1.4 RPG in the play-offs.
Dinwiddie has been wildly inconsistent, but I´d argue the 14/4/2 with 42/42/82 splits have at least steadied this sinking asset ship and the value is trending upwards now. It´s at least conceivable that he could be used in a trade for an expiring contract or an player upgrade without breaking the bank.
This is the perfect summer to be patient, unless some major star wants to be here. We have had far more success than expected, so the pressure is off a little bit. Nico had some breathing room and if he nails the draft, the TPE or the TP-MLE he´ll earn more credit and trust with the fanbase.
I absolutely hate the idea of something like paying two 1st round picks for Powell + THJ for Turner + McConnell and then watch some other team sign Nurkic to a one year $6M deal.
