You're not trading for Deni for who he is -- it's who he would become.
I'm betting on him to be better than Jerami Grant, Tobias, or Kuzma at some point.
Now I don't know if he is available (he shouldn't be), but if he is ---- you put him on the Mavs he'd automatically be top 3 in the totem pole.
I'd be down with Deni + Gafford.
The team still needs a movement shooter though, who can defend. THJ is not it, he should come off the bench. Grimes is someone that I think can fill that role, while not costing an arm and a leg.
Then it finally starts looking like a more serious contending team.
Kyrie/Exum, Grimes/THJ, Luka/DJJ, Deni/Kleber, Lively/Gafford
