Your assumption is not really correct, as most of the guys you mentioned might sign extensions before ever actually hitting the free agent market. Or their team will trade them to a place where they will sign an extension if they become unhappy. If Dallas becomes a dream destination for any guy from your list, I am sure management can clear cap space or SnT for him. Whatever contracts we might have at that time.
I think we need to upgrade with two very good players. As we don't have the assets, the only realistic option this season is taking something that is considered as a very bad contract. Otherwise we can improve our assets and make the move(s) in the summer. We are certainly not pressured to make the move now.
To dig a bit deeper into your list: Paul and Griffin will be too old in 2021 to be considered as superstars. I am certain we don't want anything to do with The King. CJ McCollum and Beal already signed their extensions so they are not free agents in 2021. Tatum is not really that much special. Mitchel will be resigned by Utah as he is restricted. If their love affair ends, they will trade him. This leaves Giannis, Davis, Leonard and George. On the other hand there will be 30 teams wanting to sign them.

I don't agree. Way too much DeAndre vibes. He is very limited offensively, bad perimeter defender with no outside shot. Ideal guy to put next to our center KP is a Millsap/Horford type of guy. Strong player who can guard the perimeter and has some post up skills. I like Thadeus Young from Chicago and he might be available if Chicago decides to go for another tank ride.
