The only Mavs player appearing on other wish lists is Green for Utah. Perhaps I could see it more as a possible three way deal, with Utah providing expiring contract like Olynik and some assets to go to the third team.

GSW will be interesting to watch going forward. I think they have to make Curry good in his last years and try to do everything to contend, but the result so far has been bad. Thompson looks cooked and anything above MLE would likely be a mistake going forward. Green has his own well known issues. Wiggins has been a shadow of himself. Still, they are not badly positioned for a big trade, especially if they are willing to move Klay expiring deal. Klay expiring, Kuminga and their picks could be very interesting for a team like Toronto (Siakam, Boucher) or a team like Portland (Grant, Brogdon). I think they will be very aggresive at TDL.
Yes, I expect both GS and Lakers are going to be aggressive. Be ready for see them pop up in every talked about trade.
I liked the young GS players. I have read that it is unlikely they move Thompson. I would assume any move is going to need curry's sign off. They are sort of stuck gambling on Kuminga's upside vs the return he could bring. I am sure they wished he was a little further along, but he is still young enough that a team may be very intrigued with him. He is probably the most likely to be moved. It is a gamble though. I could see him being very close to being a breakout, but then again maybe this is what he is. Difficult to see him reaching his full potential playing with Draymond though. Paul is the other one. I am sure they would move Wiggins, but I doubt he brings anything of value. I agree with you about Siakam trade. I will need to think more if that is a big enough move to get them back to a top 4 talent team in the West.
