2 realistic trade ideas:
1. KP for DR S&T. I think KP would trust SA to make the best use of him. SA's risk profile would be willing to take KP on for an expiring DR. For Mavs DR doesn't fix defense but he adds a lot to the offense. I think in any scenario you need a really good defensive 5 to help clean up mistakes from the perimeter. DR to me also makes Brunson potentially disposable if you want to move him for Mitchell Robinson. Otherwise Mavs would really need to hit on an 10 million dollar center.
2. KP for Wiggins/Minney. Oft cited but still relevant. Warriors have Draymond to clean up KP's mistakes on defense. Warriors would prob still be able to hold onto Wiseman or flip him for something else. I think Wiseman's stock is too low for them to move him right now. On offense they move the ball around a lot better and could get KP a lot of open shots. Wiggins would be a better 2-way starting wing or Mavs could move him for something else. The draft pick is also someone who could contribute or be moved along. After all that maneuvering Mavs would still have a post-THJ 10 mil-ish slot for another rotation player.
