DeRozan does have some position flex. I think you would start him in place of J Rich and then bring J Rich (or a suitable replacement) off the bench. It's easier to add shooters and defensive pieces than it is to get an offensive talent of DeRozan's caliber.
Mavs got the best 3 point shooter basically in JJ for nothing. They got Curry for cheap. Maxi is like a top 5 shooter this year. Mavs turned THJ somehow into a 40% 3 point shooter. Brunson is now a 40% shooter. So like shooters can be found. 2-way players are harder to find but still possible.
I don't see how Mavs aren't a top 5 offense with DR, especially if they can add a shooter to replace the loss of THJ's production. Mavs would have multiple ways to win other than Luka going nuts or a high 3% any given night.
Top 10 defense would be tougher, I think you'd be hoping for 15th or better (Mavs currently 15th).
