In my opinion: Nurkic cost is a FRP for sure unless you provide an adequate player (my Favors prayer). Holmes is almost a star on a long term deal. Sacramento asking price would be huge. Houston just signed Theiss, so not sure why they would be giving him away. I think his price is a FRP too.
I would love to keep Maxi/DFS, but I don't think there is any chance Indy would fall for THJ or Powell, unless their only interest are picks only. THJ is playing badly and Powell doesn't fit with Sabonis at all. I would be extremely surprised if Mavs even trade THJ. DFS is cheap and great, but will remain so for half a season only. After that he is MLE level player. Are we sure Mavs will actually resign DFS and Brunson, putting them some 20 mil in tax? I think DFS/Brunson is by far the biggest puzzle Mavs need to solve, unless Cuban is prepared to pay huge tax for a very average team. If a team is willing to provide similar talent, I could see Mavs pull the trigger.
If KP is here to stay, Turner is one of best players to put next to him. Basically Maxi on steroids. Also much younger. I think Mavs would need to replace DFS with Powell/Green/picks combination. Even Brunson perhaps. Worry about bench later/next season. Perhaps RoCo?
Luka, Bullock, RoCo, Turner, KP could be a very good unit on both sides.
