They need a floor general like JB to start for them and KP is 25, young enough to still be worthy of building around. Maybe it takes more than JB and KP to make them bite, I thought the OPJ for JJ swap and adding a pick and pick swap made up the difference.

Another thought I had was figuring out a NY trade that lifts the 23 pick protection. Something like Ntilikina so a 3 team trade with Felicio to NY, Ntilikina to Dal and Dal lifting the protection. That way the Mavs can trade the 25 instead of the 27 first. The full trade would be:
KP/JB/25 first/22 swap to Chi
Lavine/WCJ/Ntilikina to Dal
Felicio/23 first unprotected to NY
Luka/Ntilikina/Burke
JRich/THJ/Green
Lavine/DFS/Iwundu
Kleber/Powell/JJ
WCJ/WCS/Boban
We could then figure out a trade to get something for JJ.
