There is another target that could be more getable for our asset chest - Jerami Grant. Very likely he will be traded. He got a big contract, that will lower his market value. But that contract is still not such an obstacle to build around, still manageable. THJ+Holmes is approximately similar money, but Grant is a huge talent upgrade. Similar issue as with Siakam though - he overlaps a lot with GW.
I just can't think of a realistic point of attack defender we could bring in to start. Someone that would be really decisively better than Green. Smart, White or Jrue would be ideal, but none of them will be available. Caruso is already more of a role player. I would like to have him, but I think Mavs need a bit bigger swing to really become a contender.
I would have no problem starting Caruso, but another guy that has been mentioned is Quickley. I'm skeptical he is available, but he would be a perfect fit.
