To me, Lavine is the backcourt partner that will elevate the Mavs to elite.

But for now, I can settle for a Sato trade. 

Sato can play with Luka as well as Brunson, and also play PG rather well. 

Would now update my list to.
1. Holmes+Dragic + whoever we get for JR
2. Holmes + Sato + whoever we get for JR


Note on DP: He is playing well, defending better, but still not good enough to re-consider not upgrading from him. Try as as he must with the likes of big bullies like Gobert, Embid and Jokic he won't bee able to defend them. The same is true with athletic bigs like Holmes and AD.

And I love DP. Who doesn't?

I think DP deserves a spot on the team. He has won me over again the last month. His paint finishing ability is pretty elite and its clear its a big part of our offense. I don't want to take that for granted as its hard to find a big with good hands and soft touch around the basket. We also know that not everyone is a great fit as we have seen. 

Its pretty crazy that the Dwight Powell and Tim Hardaway Jr are the prizes of big trades the Mavs have pulled off when they were not the marquee names in the trade. 

I don't know a lot about Sato but will spend some time looking up his highlights
