Hear me out. This offseason trade Dwight Powell for Kevin Love, and have Love come off the bench. He'd be the most expensive 6th man ever, but he'd be the knockdown stretch big with terrific rebounding we all wanted from Powell. The defense is a wash. Love could fit next to either Maxi or KP, and the Mavs would have a super rotation of KP/Maxi/Love where all 3 can rebound and shoot 3's, with 2 providing elite defense.
It'd be a creative way to get off of Powell's contract. And I'm sure Love could be had for as little as Powell+Jackson.
Knocks you out of the 2021 FA chase, no?
Core Untouchables: Luka and KP
Core: DFS and Maxi (you'd probably consider trading them to upgrade their positions but they are big plus on the trade value chart due to contracts).
Fringe: THJ (depending on what his next contract is signed at, he's probably played too well this season for me to want to give him the contract he'll command, that is to say I think someone will overpay him again and he'll end up in a less than ideal situation. Big question is if he opts out or in? With a weak free agency class, maybe he tests the market?).
