I would probably do that just because it would be an asset upgrade and Kennard could be traded at a later time. The issue with guys like this is that it just double down on the Mavs strengths, at some point we need some guys who play defense. But I still think it would be a good use of 18 if you couldn't find a better deal.
If none of my "can't miss" guys were available at 18, then this would be my take as well. I do think that Kennard is quite a bit better playmaker than THJ, such that if it were between the two for, say, $10 mil per starting in '21, I'd rather have Kennard. That frees up the opportunity to trade THJ for a better expirer if nothing else. I don't know Kennard all that well, but my impression is that he wouldn't be much of a falloff from THJ defensively.
