I wouldn't want Wiggins' contract unless we unload Powell's
I also think it would require that Minney pick. If I am GS the main thing I want is KP. Unloading Wiggins isn't necessarily a huge priority unless they care about the tax bill. I think they'd rather keep the Minney pick and Wiggins rather than shed both. Wiggins is a productive player and still fits with a KP lineup:
Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Draymond, KP. They could always move Wiggins later on with that Minney pick if they need to.
I believe Mavs would really value that cap space along with with Wiseman being a core player to fit alongside Luka. Oubre would be a useful player so I don't think the Mavs would be giving up on a playoff run either way. Damien Lee would be another useful piece I'd want in the deal.
Wiseman would probably start I think right away because his roll is pretty straightforward in Rick's offense. Lineup would be:
Luka, Rich, DFS, Maxi, Wiseman.
There aren't a lot of FA's that excite me other than maybe Harrell to be a 6th man big. Oladipo will probably land on a team this year that he will resign with. Normal Powell is interesting but Dipo is really the only guy with star power. I think you have to hope if you are the Mavs that Wiseman is going to be a star player in this league to make that deal.
