I love Dodo, but he's not remotely worth a FRP. Dorian's defense has taken a clear step down this year IMO, and he was still part of the team that had the 6th worst defense in the league. If I'm giving up a FRP, im giving up multiple to get a defensive wing who is ideally younger and with a more diverse offensive skillset than just catch and shoot 3's. Green's play is eye opening having a defensive lynchpin who can actually do things on offense beyond stand in the corner and hit a 3. Give me more of that.

Capela or Turner, Cam Johnson, Caruso,Hunter,Grant ,Isaak(if he doesn't get hurt again) or even try to recover DFS..if we get 2 of those I think we'll be in a very good place
I would put every asset we have, potentially including Green (dependant on the player of course, and Green's progression the rest of the season, which has been a huge surprise to where I now legit am not even sure what his ceiling is) into getting another star if they are two way. The complimentary pieces in FA should be coming to Dallas regardless, as having Luka/Kyrie will make us a vet destination over all but a very small number of teams. If we can get some good role players too on the cheap in trades, then great, but if a star two way guy is available, that should be priority number one. The Luka Kyrie combo will always have a defensive deficit that eats into their possibly league best offensive output as far as duo's go. Having a third star level talent would also give us a clear advantage over some of the other Western Conference teams with superstar duos moving forward, teams we don't necessarily have a huge edge on other than maybe just health, not to mention some of the upcoming teams with young studs on the rise. Having another star next to Luka is great, but now we are just in a position where we are on a level with some of the other teams in the west, rather than ahead. I'd throw everything at trying to get ahead.
