Yeah I don't think there's enough meat there for Dallas if Duren isn't in the trade.
Put it this way, there are like 4 big men slated to go anywhere around 7-15. The Mavs could take the risk and take one of those guys and it'd be far less cheaper than dealing #10.
Pistons are about to have 3 centers that all want to start, with a 4th that has shown to be a good starter as well in Stewart. And everyone forgets about Bagley too!

I said slight overpay with the thought in mind that Bojan is about to be 34 and could seriously decline. They also are losing the ability to attach #10+Bertans to shed his money (does 2027 carry the same value?).
But looking at it in separate parts, THJ+McGee for Bojan is a great deal and #10 for Duren is fair, so I think it's more likely the Pistons say no.
