No one else from that list really intrigues me. Perhaps Miles Bridges, but he would come with a lot of baggage (he might be very cheap to get though).
Mavs need a third best guy and I wish we would stop hoping that some 5th best or worse would suddenly turn into a top 3 player. It really rarely happens. See GW. 90 % of the board and basically every writer thought what a great move Mavs made, now 90 % of the board wants to trade him.
Some other names (no one really brings what Mavs need, imho): Covington, the other Morris, Batum, Vando, Dort, Barnes.
Some other names that would be great but likely not available: George, JJJ, Smart, Herb Jones.
And of course the King!
I don't think anybody looked at GWill as a legit number 3. I think they looked at him as another quality rotational 3&D guy, and he has disappointed so far because the D is not there. I'm afraid we will have the same disappointment with Grant. He has not played defense in 5 years and seems more interested in being the guy, which is not going to work here. I would prefer Cam Johnson. He has been a quality starter for years, is taller, a better rebounder and a better defender. He is not looking to get 20+ a game, but averages 15 a game with a good three and good at the rim. He is also a little better distributor. That is what we need. Quality 2 way starters.
