If we do keep Kyrie, I expect a much larger positive benefit from playing with 2 super stars than we saw this year. We did not get much gravity effect from the stars for whatever reason during this past horrible year. I am very confident this will happen this year. THJ in particular if he is still here, will settle into a comfort zone as the 3rd best player (his view) where he lets the offense come to him and executes the easy play AND focuses on defense. This works as both a starter or bench player because of a clearly superior star on the floor.
I am affraid Mavs need plus defenders on all three remaining starting spots next to Luka and Kyrie. I am affraid THJ is neutral at best

Dallas trades the 10th pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves as well as Javale McGee in exchange for Jaden McDaniels and Nathan Knight.
Fundamentally, the trade is pick 10 for Jaden McDaniels. I included the McGee and Knight for salary matching purposes.
Hi. McDaniels would be great, but I am affraid he is untouchable for Minny.
