No one, of course. But it is a two step improvement process. In the first step I improve the starting unit and improve bench in the summer. Augustin is just to have at least one pure PG for half a season. Before we find a permanent solution in the summer. Of course this is with a bit of speculation, that Brunson wants to be a lead guard, so Mavs would be removing the risk of him going in the summer for nothing.

I was thinking about that too, but it would take difficult salary decisions. We would need to add at least two more players, one of them being Bullock or Kleber. And I guess Houston is counting to get at least some assets for Gordon remaining year after this season.

Pistons get: Bullock/WCS/DFS
Rockets get: Powell/Brunson
Mavs get: Wood/Grant
Mavs send out a 2027 first to Detroit and a couple seconds to Houston.
That would be awesome. I am affraid price for Wood would be 2 first rounders. But even with that I would pull the trigger, that would be an awesome win now move. Add a couple of decent pieces in the summer and Mavs can become contenders. Detroit has little to nothing use of the expiring DFS, but perhaps a third team with protected first rounder could get included. For example Bullock and DFS to NY for Fournier and a pick.
Mavs this season would be:
Luka-THJ-Grant-Wood-KP
FN-Brown-Green-Maxi-Bobi/Brown (I guess also some other min contract pieces would be involved from Detroit and Houston)
