If MKG is the best you can get he's at least someone that Rick will play vs Lee who is glued to the bench. Mavs how so much offense you can live with MKG being the one guy on the floor with no shot. You probably wouldn't play him and WCS at the same time. I haven't watched him much but if his defense is legit maybe that can help us slow down some of these big physical scorers. Also Ricky is known for fixing first round busts (altho not necessarily in half a season). I bet MKG would be the last option for Donnie if all else fails. Charlotte would likely trade him to save face that they got something for him even if it's a worthless pick or even a conditional pick.
I don't see Mavs cashing in their young guys right now. The time would probably be this summer. Wright and Jackson seem like candidates for flipping. Wright and Brunson are redundant. It's great when Doncic is hurt because we have other guys who can give quality minutes but long term it would be better to cash in those guys for a defensive wing. JJB still gives quality minutes as a 3rd PG option. I don't see Curry being moved bc you always need shooters.
This summer Mavs could do some big trade for Roco or someone else that includes Jackson, Wright, GSW and their first round pick.
Mavs can get RoCo now or later, have a good team next year with a short term MLE guy or two and still have a Max slot open in 2021. I would target Oladipo or Jrue Holiday to take over THJ's spot in the starting lineup. Holiday is oft injured and getting older but is probably the best guy you can get.

If we’re talking versatility, I actually prefer the idea of Jackson as a scoring 3/4 especially if the Mavs add a defensive 3/4 like MKG. A Jackson/MKG pair would give Carlisle more options at small-ball 4.
But Jackson has never really found consistency as a scorer, has he. I do like the cultural fit though.
There have some grumblings about Monk in Charlotte but hard to know what’s real.
I think I like a simple Lee+2nd —> MKG
