Trade 1:
James Johnson for Jabari Parker + Cory Joseph.
At age 26 Parker is still very young. Yes he is not very good defensively, but he´ll play against bench units and we can surround him with plenty of defensive power, but he gives us a different scoring punch off the bench. Joseph is the perfect salary matching contract for the summer.
Trade 2 (Summer):
S&T Joseph (2.4M guaranteed) + Powell + Burke + unprotected 1st round pick for DeRozan (or Lowry/Oladipo).
Sign a back-up center. Try to find a cheap knock down shooter SG/SF.
Draft Charles Bassey (Nigeria/Western Kentucky) or one of the projected Euro bigs, that are always value in the 2nd round. I´d also call Indiana and ask what they want for Goga Bitadze. He´s the next big to Zubac. Sometimes it´s as easy as a simple comparison: if you outplay Giannis/Jokic in the same league at the same age, you cannot be a bum. You´ll likely not be a top 10 superstar, but you´ll likely have a long NBA career.
Doncic/Brunson/Terry
Richardson/THJ/Green
DeRozan/DFS/Shooter X
Kleber/Parker/Bey
Porzingis/ X /Bassey
Btw Markkanen has played a really strong season: shooting 50/40/82. I think if the Mavs make a RFA play, it will be him and not Collins.
