Maybe I will be surprised with another trade, but I think the most likely course of action is Nico getting commitment for a tax MLE guy. Can they get Joe Ingles (if healthy) to accept a contract? Thad Young? Slo-Mo? Some of the targets may be above the Tax MLE, but the ones who are not are likely going to have a lot of competition. Can Dallas target 1 or 2 and get a commitment with their desired player?
I think that is the most likely outcome. It adds a 10th player to what is essentially a 3 big (Wood, Maxi, Powell), 3 wing (DFS, Bullock, THJ) and 3 ball-handler (Luka, Brunson, SD) team. The fun of this time of year is seeing if there is a logical way of upgrading the weakest link of one of those groupings AND add the TP-MLE guy. Some days the focus is on Powell. Some days it is THJ or Dinwiddie. One way or another it feels like we are a bit light on the defensive side.
