Competitively? Not necessarily. They could convert AJ Lawsons contract from a 2-way to a full contract if they can't find anyone on the buyout market they like. That would allow Lawson to play past the 50 game limit 2-way guys are imposed and have an ability to play in the playoffs.
I like Lawson, but I still think there are better guys available right now than him that I'd want in a 7 game series.

Gallinari would be a good option. Could always use extra bench scoring

Out of everyone, his fit and specialized role makes the most sense. He's basically a center now that can't move his feet, but he can still shoot well.
Always loved Gallo. Hated seeing him injure himself against the Mavs.

Yeah I've changed my preference from Morris. Gallinari would be my first choice now. Just a little bigger/longer and a better shooter. While I like Morris, we already have PJ but we don't have a pure shooting big man like Gallinari who also still has some overall offensive abilities.

Korkmaz is intent on staying in the NBA.

Gallo to the Bucks according to Shams!
We have a knack whoever we talk about in this thread to the Mavs they basically sign the next day with another team.
So I guess I'll emphatically say there is NO shot the Mavs will grab a bought out Marcus Morris or Killian Hayes

Furkan Korkmaz wouldn't be a bad pick-up. Can hit the 3, can bring the ball-up, could play as the secondary ballhandler when Exum isn't available. And he's probably 6'6" so he isn't small can probably play better D than THJ at small forward.

They don't HAVE TO sign anyone. My guess is that they wait and see if there's an injury issue to cover, before making a move, and they might even end up doing nothing.

I hope they'll sign someone. It's a free opportunity to acquire a talented player for an extended tryout.
Korkmaz has actually been a good NBA rotation player. It would be a nice opportunity to see if he can bounce back a bit on this roster.
Killian Hayes has been terrible in the NBA thus far. There is some potential there though to someday be a decent backup point. Jason Kidd and Kyrie could both help that kid improve.
The reason we should take a chance on these players is that they require no assets to acquire. Decent prospects free of charge. Smart organizations take these opportunities. Lottery tickets for free are never a bad bet.

The problem if the Mavs acquire someone is that Kidd may force him into the lineup over players on the roster now who are better. I’m okay going with the kids.

That's why we should sign a young player from the buyout market.
I agree if we were to sign a vet, Kidd might place him in the rotation even if he's terrible. Killian Hayes and Korkmaz would have to earn the minutes.
Between trading Seth and Exum still being out, we have a lack of guard depth right now. We could use another backup guard on the roster. The unoccupied 15th spot will not help us win games.

Came kind of out of nowhere but it was probably because his agent was working on getting him to a destination. He hasn't really been good all year on a team that's been desperate for some PG play.
