MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

Mikal Bridges would be awesome but he's too expensive to trade for.

I don't like the fit of Keldon at SG on defense.

Agreed that the Mavs basically have 4 of the 5 players you need to create a contending lineup. Grimes feels like the missing depth piece IMHO. He can catch and shoot, drive to the rim, makes cuts, leads fast breaks, defends well. Between Josh Green and Grimes, the 5th SG position should be very nicely covered.

- Kyrie, Green/Grimes, Luka, PJ, Lively/Gafford

I'm also curious to see this lineup below, when Kyrie sits.

- Green, Grimes, Luka, PJ, Lively/Gafford

I'm wanting Fontecchio as backup to Luka, rather than as a THJ replacement.

- Kyrie, Green/Grimes, Fontecchio, PJ, Lively/Gafford

And if Kyrie's health or age is a concern, he could be traded for Dejounte, who should fit in with these same lineups nicely too.

Grmies is a perfect fit but he also just got traded to the Pistons as part of their franchise moving forward.  He isn't available anymore.

So did Fontecchio for that matter. Neither are gettable for the foreseeable future.
