Shot in the dark and I'm light to Orlando but haven't included Green or picks so maybe that delta can be closed. This would open up two roster spots. I would try and bring back JJB to add some vet presence and a steadying hand for Luka and keep one spot for any potential buyout fits.
Mavs Receive:
Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier, Mike Muscala and George Hill
Mavs Trade:
Josh Richardson, Dwight Powell, James Johnson, Trey Burke, Tyrell Terry, and Wes Iwundu
Magic Receive:
Dwight Powell, James Johnson, Trevor Ariza, Tyrell Terry and Trey Burke
Magic Trade:
Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier, Aminu and Mo Bamba
Thunder Receive:
Josh Richardson, Mo Bamba, Aminu and Iwundu
Thunder Trade:
George Hill, Mike Muscala and Trevor Ariza
Why Mavs do it: They can roll out a starting lineup of KP, Maxi, AG, Fournier and Luka. They add George Hill to help fill JRich defensive role and provide another secondary ball handler. Muscala gives them a big to replace Powell in the rotation.
Why Magic do it: The Powell as the centerpiece of a trade story still makes no sense to me and this trade depends on that actually being realistic and Powell being a guy the Magic like. They get some cheap guard depth with Burke and Terry and a couple expirings to flip or just let burn off. Their return is light and not sure the gap can be closed realistically.
Why Thunder do it: In their continued asset management they turn Hill, Muscala and Ariza into the chance to rehab Mo Bamba'a value and potentially JRich as well.
Mavs New Rotation:
KP - Muscala/WCS - Bobi
Maxi - DFS - Bey
AG - THJ - Hinton
Fournier - Hill - Green
Luka - Brunson - JJB*
Mavs aren't quite as thin at the 4 spot with AG eating minutes there as well and they can be opportunistic if a buyout fit presents itself.
