Mikal instantly becomes the Mavs best POA defender and third scoring option. Lineup would be:

• Luka, Exum

• Kyrie, Hardy

• Mikal, Lawson

• PJ, Kleber

• Lively, Gafford, Powell

Mavs would need to add 3-4 guys via minimums and the MLE, but this lineup especially the starting five is a good start.

For the Nets, THJ’s contract expires alongside Simmons. They add two young players in Omax and Green plus another Mavs FRP to their stockpile.
