Seems an appropriate price for the swap. As of now, I´d say the Mavs plan is definitely for Hardy and Grimes to play for those minutes and contracts. Show us what they got.
Also seems Dallas has no intentions of acquiring players that are more than 24 months ahead of Luka´s timeline. Part of the reason is also that they need to generate some player re-trade value for the eventual Kyrie replacement in the pecking order. I would not be completely shocked, if they looked into something like
Green + Lawson for Hunter -6
J. Smith S&T for Kleber +5
..but I´d also be happy just with the Kleber part and force Green to take more responsibility to. Sink or swim time, cause we all know Hardy will be a shark hunting his shots. Green needs to assert himself....finally. Last opportunity to do it here.
Re-sign DJJ. Maybe Ajinca actually comes over. I´m not a huge stash fan. Let him work with the Mavs coaches year round.
