The Orlando Magic are not playing Goga much lately. 2 consecutive DNPs and average 7 minutes per game over the past 4 games. WCJ has played well recently and is apparently no longer available for trade. Mo Wagner gives them good offense off the bench. I think Goga should be available so here's a trade that I'm sure others have suggested previously:
Mavs send THJ to Orlando.
Magic send Fultz and Goga to the Mavs.
The Magic's guard rotation beyond Suggs hasn't been very good this season. Cole Anthony is around 33% from 3 this year which isn't good enough for a team that lacks shooters. Anthony Black has been good for a rookie but is still a net negative in the advanced stats stuff. THJ would be welcome there.
We'd solve our backup big problem and I believe we'd have early bird rights on Goga this coming off-season. Losing the THJ contract also should permit us to re-sign both Goga and DJJ.
We'd need Hardy to replace THJ.
