I doubt the Giannis-to-Mavs scenario happens. Not sure if he and Luka have reached the maturity where they can thrive as teammates competing with each other for MVP, or cancelling each other out of the race.
But if I were the Mavs, my sales pitch to both will be the Bill Russell Celtics angle. "Luka, Giannis, wouldn't you want to try to match or exceed that level of dominance? 11 championships, 11 finals in 13 years?" It is a unique opportunity that no other duo in the NBA now, or maybe in the near future, has a shot at.
