I think there are two clear upgrade paths for the Mavs right now:
1) Trading Lee+minor asset for a bruiser big.
2) Trading 2 of the Brunson/Curry/Jackson trio for a true 3&D starting wing.
I love what DFS and the bench have been doing lately but in the playoffs when rotations get shortened it probably wouldn't be as big of an asset. Also DFS being our only true wing defender is not great.
Long-term it would be great to upgrade THJ to a true 3rd star, but I doubt the Mavs have the assets to make that happen this year and as long as THJ keeps playing well in his new role there's no rush.
