That's it. No changing the top nine. There is a Top 70-80 player available at each position to be had by trade. You can replace one of our top 9 with that guy. Don't worry about the money. Don't worry about the trade specifics. There is someone available who can be our third best player (but not a star) and the other team will take our guy and something outside our top nine as compensation.
What one player is the one most in need of replacing with said Top 70-80 player?
If I understand your exercise, you're asking which Mav we think needs to go, not necessarily who we think should be brought in...
If that's correct, then the answer has to be either Powell or WCS, imo. To me, what that top 9 is missing is a guy about Powell's size who can dribble, shoot, create, defend and rebound. A starting 4. I would also be willing to move Kleber for this player if the player is good enough, frankly.
