PG: Dunn (CHI), Dragic (MIA), Augustin (ORL). In case of both Brunson and Wright gets traded. If not I'm OK with any of those two running our 2nd unit.
SG: Forbes (SAS), Clarkson (UTA), Valentine (CHI). In case Seth gets traded. If THJ gets traded or opts out (and doesn't come into terms on an extension), I would rather throw money at Bogdanovic/Fournier/Harris.
SF: Craig (DEN), Harkless (NYK), Crowder (MIA), Jones Jr. (MIA). PRIORITY. Not sure we're keeping MKG. We need depht in this area in case of a DFS injury (knock wood).
PF: Saric (PHO), Wood (DET), Grant (DEN). PRIORITY. Any one of those guys would add a great set of skills to our big man rotation.
C: Olynyk (MIA), Leonard (MIA). If WCS opts out.
To me, Seth is not going anywhere. That 3pt % is too valuable to RCs offensive scheme and none of the other guys brings that. THJ may get traded, depending on how he treats his PO, but I think there is a comfort factor building with Luka/KP that will make the MBT happy to pay him next year. So I expect him to be around.
MKG and WCS are on try-out status. They are going to have to show they mesh with the core players and can make positive contributions to have a place next year.
All that said, I'm on board with trying to make some key upgrades this summer when the FA competition is not so insane. Just having trade-able assets at the 2021 TDL is going to be worth something as other teams pre-position for the 2021 FA frenzy. Given the Mav's history of FA fails, I'm OK with zigging when everybody else is zagging.
