Maybe, but…
1) The last time Kleber was a difference maker, that was “the good year” of Wiggins. You’re saying one is washed and the other is not?
2) The Mavericks need a versatile big off the bench. Someone who can play 5-out 5. If you move Kleber, that removes any chance of filling that role without ANOTHER deal.
3) Kleber’s contract is small. Wiggins’ contract is so big I did a spit take earlier when I checked on it. The difference between those numbers and their effect on the cap cannot be overstated.
From my perspective you would be creating a new hole without even filling the one you’re attempting to fill. You can call it overrating Kleber if you wish, but I mean it as “hell no” to Wiggins under any circumstances. I say again: extinction level event.
