What about signing a guy like Reggie Jackson to an overpriced 2 year deal with a team option?
You overpay to get someone to commit to a team option deal and then have an expiring deal to trade or decline for free agency next year. Allows for alot of flexibility in trades at the deadline and next summer.
There are alot of quality free agents next summer. Not even talking max guys but of course Lavine too. But there would be plenty of opportunity for SNT deals with an expiring deal.. Or you can straight up sign them with cap space if you declined.
Personally, I'd find it pretty hard to get excited by Jackson, regardless of how he fit into any larger plan. It's not that I think he's a bad player, it's just that I don't find him to be a needle mover. If any acquisition is not an instant needle mover, I'd prefer they be YOUNG. I don't think the Mavs are close enough to where they are 1-3 Reggie Jacksons away from competing.
