I think the Mavs view
Doncic/Brunson
THJ/Richardson
DFS/X
Kleber/X
Porzingis/WCS
.....as the established set pieces. Therefore the in-coming talent has to be clearly superior to the pieces in place. For PG/SG that means a lot bigger solutions than Nunn, Graham, Monk, Rozier, Dragic etc.
If you break it down like this, the links to Markkanen, Collins and Turner make a lot of sense. Those are players that could realistically be obtained via S&Ts (with reasonable capspace leverage), provide the largest replacement value in our current rotation, have future re-trade value and fit the Luka timeline.
