Another name on the list of good perimeter defenders is Thaddeus Young. He also has one of those contracts that is about $14mm at the upcoming TDL, but is only guaranteed $6mm the next year. Even if we kept him in 21, he's $3mm cheaper than Wright. I personally think Chicago would have to compensate Dallas in such a deal, but I don't know what that would look like.
If you do this, I think you'd start him at the 4 and slide DFS to the 3 and move Curry back to the bench to take Wright's bench role as a SG. You could draft the eventual replacement for Young and give him time to grow up. You'd still have the MLE to replace Jackson's minutes (I'd still add DJJr as a perimeter defender).

Young/Powell
DFS/DJJr.
THJ/Curry
Luka/Brunson
