2 Doubt Mavs would want either. Not saying they are bad players, but rather that they aren't good enough to justify the massive trade price, plus the massive contracts it will take to keep them.

3 To me the fact they are lead players on a team that continues to be mediocre is a red flag as to their value - I think their price will be too high for what they bring to WINNING
Good thoughts here. I think the high price tag (not in trade, but on next contract) is a very valid argument, particularly for Siakim, who spent the summer trying to kill any rumored trade specifically to hold onto his dream of getting the super max that only Toronto can offer (yuck). I'm not saying you're wrong about OG being similarly ambitious for his next deal, but I don't know that we've seen evidence of it.
But again, good thoughts!
