What about an Oladipo trade expansion:
Johnson + Powell + Iwundu (or Terry, maybe Green if the Mavs need to add value) + unprotected 1st + 2 2nds --> Oladipo + Tucker + McLemore
Rockets might want to wait a little bit longer before they embrace the tank but it is going to happen. Mavs gamble on Oladipos health and add more depth/shooting. Rockets bet against KP´s and Oladipo´s health and hope for a high unprotected pick. In a follow up trade they could try turn Johnson´s expiring into even more draft picks in exchange for a bad longterm contract.
Mavs gamble on KP´s and Oladipo´s health. It´s a risk but if both can stay healthy they turn into a true contender. Oladipo gets a new contract in the summer. Cuban pays luxury tax and resigns THJ + Richardson as well. If Tucker is still producing he gets the tax payer MLE in the summer.
Oladipo/Richardson/Doncic/Tucker/Porzingis
Brunson/THJ/DFS/Kleber/WCS
Burke/McLemore/Green/ /Boban
Terry/Hinton/Bey
Positive: Improved starting five and best depth chart in the league.
Negative: Injury-prone max players and no way to make any big roster changes in the coming years.
