I don't think it's time to be rigid with the roster and beyond Luka and KP, everyone should be on the table. While we don't have the assets for a Beal, we do have some interesting components:
-Maxi: Versatile defender who can hit open threes. On an inexpensive contract.
-DFS: See Maxi
-Brunson: Shown flashes and would probably thrive given a bigger role. I don't think he's a starter but he is an asset.
-Johnson: Expiring. Shown he can contribute.
-THJ: Expiring. Can get as hot as just about any player in the league from outside.
-JRich: Expiring. Great defender. Okay on the offensive end hitting shots or creating his own.
-Boban Expiring. Locker room glue guy.
-Burke: Value Contract. Can contribute.
-WCS: See Burke
-Rookies
-FRP
Outside of it being a last resort, I just can't imagine the Mavs resigning both THJ and JRich this offseason and due to the proximity to the trade, my guess is JRich is the priority. The team build goals are probably loftier than a core of Luka, KP, JRich, THJ. If the MBT goal is for the big thee, you already have LeBron (Luka) and Wade (KP) and "just" need to find your Bosh. I'm sure they'll be willing to sacrifice any combination of the above to accomplish that. Being opportunistic at the TDL is also a Donnie special. Who knows what will present itself?
