Just spitting out ideas. Would you consider GWill and THJ for Isaac and Ingles. Perhaps some minor draft consideration from Orlando.
Orlando gets shooting they need. Most likely a package of better players but kills their summer cap space plans.
Isaac is one of the best defenders in the league, but he is injured all the time. Ingles is mostly done, but can be calming presence on deep bench. Can shoot, can facilitate, smart defender. Both contracts give the Mavs max flexibility in the summer, as Ingles has a team option and Isaac is not guaranteed. If Mavs are lucky, I could see them playing better with this deal. If not, they still have everything and even better contracts to trade in the summer.
