Other than that, I think it is logical the team wants to improve and they are exploring all possible options. I am sure all teams are exploring all possible options.
Harris makes sense regarding what was said - Mavs are willing to eat some salaries and he fits the SF/PF description. He does make some sense on our team, especially if he can be had cheaply. Kleber, Curry, Powell for Harris and Thybulle (or draft compensation)? Philly gets quality role players and flexibility, Dallas improves while loses future flexibility. If Giannis is off the table (perhaps Mavs know that), that doesn't sound so bad. Perhaps add Wright for Richardson. If Philly doesn't want to have Powell, they can have Wright+Jackson. We would still have MLE and picks. We could even still move up. A lot of options in this "win now" scenario.
Let's say it is Kleber, Curry, Powell for Harris and Thybulle. We draft BPA and cover the hole with MLE. Let's say we draft a guard, so MLE goes for PF. Or the other way around. Guard MLE can be Burke, PF MLE can be Millsap, for example. We can also resign Lee for some veteran leadership at SG. We can still upgrade Wright+pick for a more established player like Schroeder we discussed. Our team would look something like:
Luka, Brunson, Wright
THJ, Burke, #31, Lee
DFS, Thybulle
Harris, #18
KP, WCS, Bobi
Starting five looks great, bench a little weak, so I would still look for upgrades - either move up in the draft for something more certain or "upgrade" Wright.
