We have realistically 2 spots in the starting lineup that could be upgraded, THJ & Powell. I think DFS is now a spot starter when everyone is healthy. THJ could have another really good year and the Mavs might want to just keep him, especially if his contract is reasonable. Then you have Powell who Rick loves.
I guess the question for me is who is a guy the Mavs will like enough to displace one of these other players? I would trade Powell all day long but they seem happy to have him in the starting lineup. Gobert to me is not the guy bc unlike Powell he is not a 4/5 hybrid. Rick has said repeatedly he wants KP playing the 5. Rick calls Powell a 4.
