I don’t think you want him and JRich and DFS all in together with KP and Luka. Logically, you’d go back to THJ as a starter and move Maxi and DFS to the bench with Brunson. It’s not like we platoon our bench. The only platoon we tend to run is the starting five. Post a Gordon trade, I’d propose that be KP/Gordon/THJ/JRich/Luka.
I think you might have just stumbled onto one of the main reasons Gordon won’t be a Mav.
Me, I’d roll with DFS, hoping his shooting slump ends, and short of that I’d replace Richardson in the starting lineup with THJ, not DFS. I just don’t think there’s anyone else on the roster who fits the bill as a 3.
