Free agency basically offers RFA Ball and some aged guys which might not have Dallas as their top option (Conley, Lowry, CP3) and can always also backfire badly if it doesn't work. If I look at guys under contract that are not exactly top stars and fit the description: Brogdon, Murray and White from SA, FVV. Did I forgot anyone?Derrick White is one of my favorite options to fill that role. I don’t know what it would take to get him or if he’s even on the Mavericks radar but on paper he seems like he would fit great next to Luka. He gets hurt a little bit but otherwise he seems like an ideal fit and maybe realistically attainable.
The big question - can you get any of the above without trading KP? All of them are on teams that are a bit of a mistery. All of them clearly need a star, but have the ammo to try and get that star by trade. Will any of them really go into rebuild? Indy is a very good team on the paper, but hasn't worked for two seasons now with two different coaches. So how long do they keep trying? Rebuilding was not their modus operandi in the past - they rather traded their established players for up and coming pieces. But they desperately need very high ceiling guy(s). I think Toronto is in a very similar position. San Antonio I think wants to give Pop most wins in history and they need another (at least) average season for that. So I don't think they will go for a big rebuild. Could go season after that.
