Mavs priority (if they can't land a star-ish player of course) should be getting the most shooters they can get plus the best 2-way guard/wing they can get (again if possible). THJ is a shooter. JR is supposed to be a 2-way guard/wing but he is more 1-way.
As much as I would like an additional creator I am not 100% sure we need one. I like Patty Mills for example who can create some but is more of a scorer/shooter variety. I would be happy for example with Mills and DG (ex-Spurs) as my 6th and 7th guys. They are killers from deep and Mavs need those. DG can defend. J Rich's inconsistency is a real problem. Mavs can live with one guy like that (DFS) but we need a sure thing at the other spot.
I think Brunson would be good to be that second scorer in the starting lineup and then your priorities are filling the 6th and 7th spot with the best shooter, 2-way guy or guys you can get.
We can probably live with the bigs we have on the bench minus WCS if Mavs need to spend their money and roster spots on other positions. Melli, Boban are cheap and Powell is sort of a sunk cost but fine in a smaller role so Mavs have the option to just roll with that and be okay there.
After you figure out 6/7 (the priority spots) and you are stuck with Burke as a backup guard/shooter then in 8/9 you can just get the best shooters you can get.
