Would the Pelicans do it?

Getting off CJ's Contract a year earlier. Becoming the backup for Kyrie for the Mavericks as he recovers.

Mavs give up Gafford, who fits into Pelicans system with Missi. (Will look for 15-20mil contract next year)

Caleb adds to the Defensive Wing Depth. Down season but solid contract

Hardy is able to get some playing time with Pelicans with all the defensive presence in the starting line up. Solid three year contract at 6mil.

Mavericks Pick up a Lottery Pick and Draft Maluach as a backup center or if a desirable guard drops, potentially picking up a Guard.
