DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[DanSchwartzgan]

I keep coming back to Tobias Harris as a use of THJ/Powell.  Someone else can argue about what else would need to be sent back and forth in the deal, but since it would likely be a post draft trade, let’s just keep it at THJ/Powell and leave picks out of it (and players like Thybulle and Korkmaz for now).  So, you have KP/WCS as your C’s and Harris/Maxi as your PF’s.  BUT, you have up your starting SG.

Trade Jackson/18 for Kennard.  Similar to THJ from 3 and gives a little more playmaking.

Do the DJJ FA signing.

Now, you have DJJ/DFS as your wing defenders and Kennard/Curry as your shooting wings and Luka/Brunson as your PG’s (Wright is still here as a 5th guard though he could also replace Jackson in the deal for Kennard).

I get the dislike for the Harris overpay, but when combined with other things, you suddenly look like a very complete team.

KP/WCS/Boban
Harris/Maxi
DFS/DJJ
Kennard/Curry
Luka/Brunson

Other than Curry, no one is old.  You can keep this group together for quite a while.
