I am not a big Collins fan and don't think Mavs have the assets to get him anyway.
Also I am not trading Maxi for anybody who isn't a star. He is too important and his contract is great. I could see Mavs keeping him as a long term glue guy even after his contract ends.
DFS on the other hand only has one year left on his deal. His money is going to go way up and you might have some young guys who could be his longterm replacement. For that reason I would consider some trades where we net a starter.
Also any trade idea where we are trying to upgrade Powell probably need to include Powell outgoing. That could be a challenge which is why I do think it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
One idea I like is Myles Turner. I previously resisted idea since he's more of a 5 in Rick's system but he is a 4/5 hybrid type similar to Powell. Myles Turner makes a lot more and just doesn't have the upside or market value he had once upon a time.
The trade for the Mavs would be to get a better version of what Powell brings. For the Pacers they might like Powell as a cheaper version of what they have in Turner. I am sure they'd rather have Maxi but I would not give up Maxi for Turner.
I might give up DFS or some other asset if I was convinced he could do all the offensive things plus play better defense and shoot from outside.
