It would be interesting to see if Mavs actually tried to roll out Luka-THJ-DFS-DeRozan-KP lineup. DeRozan played PF at SA and Luka is also big enough to handle most PF. If DeRozan is the only non shooter, offense would still work well. Defense is of course another issue.

Considering there's only a single capable defender in that starting five, yes, defense would be a problem. 

I have warmed up to DeRozan, but he only makes sense if 1) KP is replaced by a decent rim/paint protector (could be a new-and-improved-after-offseason-work KP, but I seriously doubt it), and (not or) if 2) THJ goes to the bench if retained, or is let go.

I imagine Brogdon will be high on the wish list if Indiana decides to shake things up.

A playmaker *and* rugged defender. One of the 14 guys for whom I would include DFS in a trade. Hard to imagine a deal for him without KP outgoing (likely three-team).
