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

[KillerLeft]

Hayward's bigger. Don't want him. Gallo's bigger. Can't play defense. The only "bigger" targets I would consider in lieu of Bogi (if we have a shot at him) would be Wood or OPJ. Or of course Jerami Grant, but we aren't getting him.

I would definitely guess they're looking at 4's, 5's or people they think can play both. Starting 4 is really the closest thing you could call a hole, imo. Whether you have Kleber or DFS there (everyone expects something different), either way it's someone not paid as a starter and who would instantly be even more valuable as a bench piece.

Also, they HAVE to be at least a little worried about the first month of this season. Someone to start at the 5 along with one of those guys who could also exist well with KP when he gets healthy really would be the next logical step.

Then, use the MLE to try to fill whatever hole you create via the outgoing pieces of the trade - bench wing, backup PG, another big, whatever. The MLE can go a lot farther for a bench piece than it can for a starter.
