Mavs would get a modern core around Luka that would make sense and it would also allow to play Powell with those wings. It would be quite easy to merge those two deals. I would try to keep Brunson and even THJ and only trade picks for Grant.
Charlotte is one of rare teams that could see value in KP as they definitely need a center. There are though some other high profile and cheaper options reportedly on the block: Nurkic, Turner and Sabonis. I would imagine Indiana would be looking rather for younger pieces than Hayward, if they are serious about the rebuild. From these perspective KP could be a benefit for Charlotte as he would allow them to keep younger players and picks. I am not sure if KP really has lower value than Hayward as he is much younger.
So my three team deal would look like:
Dal: Grant, Hayward
Cha: KP
Det: Bullock (or Kleber), Green, 2 FRP
So in this scenario assuming we sign DFS and Brunson we will be more than 25 mil over the tax line and burned every asset we have. Is that team (a team you are starting Powell at center) good enough to go all in on?
