OKC is a real interesting case for dealing. They are certanly a team able to split our 2027 pick, as they have endless selection of different picks to send back. If I assume Garuba, Washington, Joe, Oladipo and Mann are their "cut list" (they keep Bertans for trade matching purpose), they still have the following depth chart and some very good prospects will not get minutes.
PG: SGA, Micic (didn't come to NBA to warm the bench), Wallace (traded up to get)
Small wings: Williams, Dort, Wiggins (plus some of PG will play the SG position), White
Big wings: Giddey, K.Williams, Poku, Dieng,
Centers: Holmgren, Williams, Robinson,
Matching contract: Bertans
So, how about this:
Mavs: Dort, Poku, another body from OKC, lottery protected future FRP
OKC: THJ, McGee, 2027 unprotected
Mavs can use Holmes and that pick for the center trade later.
