Caruso is a nice player, but as Dan said - he doesn't really solve the problems Mavs have. Mavs need a legit starter level talent. Once we solve that, I start discussing Caruso types with whatever cap or exception money is left

I would think Lowry is strong enough to handle SG just fine. Of course you do this move only if you think you are close to contention. I totally agree with you that a legit SG and decent big while keeping the players under contract could really transform this team. And I agree this team has leadership issues others pointed out (I just don't blame players for that).
One thing I wonder - is Townsend speculation about needing vet help coming from him or is that MBT way of preparing fanbase for summer results
My perfect summer would still include trading Powell. That 10 mil could make a big difference. Example - Orlando might be totally willing for a OPJ SnT for Powell and draft compensation. Lowry+OPJ+rotation big (Olynik or Theis)+miniMLE (here we start discussing Carusos of the world
)+BaU could make this team look very differently. Of course I would be happier with Ball instead of Lowry, but we know all the risks regarding that.Doncic, Brunson
Lowry, Green
OPJ, DFS
Olynik, Maxi
KP, BaU center
Throw in miniMLE wherever you think is the biggest weakness.
