The latest ESPN+ article was posted on Mavs-reddit:
Dallas Mavericks
What to watch: The roster outside of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis Despite not being able to trade a first until 2025, the Mavericks do have trade assets with their own players. Dallas has Courtney Lee ($12.8 million) on an expiring, Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber on team-friendly deals and a mix of solid young players in Jalen Brunson and Justin Jackson. Is that combination enough to pry a player like the Pistons' Andre Drummond? Unlikely, but if Dallas is looking to pair Doncic and Porzingis with a low-post threat, that is the combination of players that would likely be shipped out.
The Lee expiring contract along with Dallas' collection of second-round picks could be enough to get the Grizzlies' Andre Iguodala. The Warrior' 2020 second-rounder is looking particularly valuable. Lee-for-Iguodala would work straight up, and two second-rounders might be the best Memphis gets.
Front-office deadline history: Dallas' jump into playoff contention makes the two first-rounders included in the Porzingis trade look like more of a steal. Besides acquiring Porzingis, Dallas also acquired Justin Jackson in exchange for Harrison Barnes. Jackson has shot 44.4% from 3 off the bench this season.
Restrictions/notes
The Mavericks have trade exceptions worth $11.8 million and $1.2 million.
Porzingis, Dorian Finney-Smith and Maxi Kleber cannot be traded until Jan. 15. Powell cannot be traded until Jan. 6.
Porzingis has a 5% trade bonus that becomes voided if he is moved.
J.J. Barea has a one-year Bird restriction and can veto any trade.
Dallas owes New York an unprotected first in 2021 and a top-10 protected first in 2023 that rolls over to 2024 and 2025 if not conveyed. The Mavericks cannot trade a first until two years after their commitment to New York is met. Dallas could trade a 2025 first-rounder by removing the protection on the 2023 pick.

I'd offer the GS 2nd for Cedi Osman. And then some more if needed to. He's young, can play, and locked into a multi-year contract that starts next summer but declines every year.
