I'm seeing some names that I like as targets.... Grimes, Kispert and Aaron Holiday.
I like how the Mavs team could look by adding them and a 3rd Center... and by shedding THJ, Green, Powell and Morris. The remaining worry would be the health of Exum and Kleber.
G: Kyrie..................... Exum, Holiday
G: DJJ....................... Grimes, Hardy
F: Luka...................... Kispert, (Buy an early 2nd round pick, try to draft the next Herb Jones)
F: PJW....................... Kleber, O-Max
C: Gafford.................. Lively, Sims

Although, I'm wondering if the Mavs should go for broke and try to get Deni Avdija instead of Kispert, as a Kleber replacement. Avdija can be backup at both PF and SF. He has some play-making abilities, which can come in handy when one of Kyrie/Luka is sitting.
And to take this another level up, I'd also like to try swapping Hardy for Isaiah Joe.
- Kyrie, DJJ, Luka, PJW/Avdija, Gafford/Lively
- Luka/Kyrie, Grimes/Joe, Avdija, PJW, Gafford/Lively
Notes:
Grimes/Joe in the 2nd lineup for their shooting.
This would be a balanced, yet fearful 9-man playoff rotation.
I don't think this is asking for the moon either... Avdija, Grimes, Joe, Sims... that's it.
