With Lauri saying he wants to be a Mav, I'm going with a Lauri-Holmes front court for the next 4 years.

Lauri, Sato and draft considerations incoming and KP outgoing. Find a third team to for KP.

Lineup should be:
SF DFS/Green
PF Lauri/Maxi/Melli
C Holmes/DP
G THJ/Sato/Burke
G Luka/Brunson


Lauri is a mobile big, it's just his lateral isn't too good. But on offense, he has the quickness, the athletic ability and the handles to not only attack close outs, but also score in his own, unassisted, whether going to the basket, a pull up for a jumper or a shoot a fadeaway.  I trust him to make 6 dribbles than I do KP with 4. For a big, Lauri can go anywhere he wants.

Lauri isn't a rim roller, and he doesn't need to be specially if Mavs can employ Holmes to do that and retain Powell. Lauri will probably be in a lot of pick and pop situations with Luka, and that would be lethal, but who says Lauri can't roll hard to the basket? He probably is quicker than DP and most likely with the same jump or higher. Luka would make him better.
