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

What we need now is someone like Wood or OPJ to move DFS or Maxi to the bench.  I'm hoping this is where keeping Lee during the bubble comes into play.

I would actually think moving THJ while adding a good two way player is bigger improvement than upgrade at PF. I am fine with OPJ, because I think he actually replaces THJ in the starting line-up, not DFS/Kleber. If you can get him without trading THJ (Lee SnT), even better. This way you have a line-up that is suddenly capable of playing great basketball on both sides of the court.

As for Hayward. Luka is our number 1, KP is 2, Richardson is 4 and either DFS or THJ are 5. Hayward is a great number 3. OPJ? Perhaps too, although I am not so sure. I think Richardson is not good enough secondary ballhandler, that's why player like Hayward would be great. And he is likely best available.

I am affraid of Gallo trade. That move would again tilt our starting lineup against guys who don't really excell defensively. I repeat, if we add another capable two way player, we can start dreaming.
