Julius Randle, PF, New York Knicks
Bringing Randle, a Dallas, Texas, native, home would represent a huge get in terms of overall talent for a franchise that just reached the NBA Finals.
Randle, 29, was an All-Star last season, averaging 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists for the Knicks before a shoulder injury caused him to miss the entire postseason. Joining a starting lineup that also features Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson and Dereck Lively II would help get Dallas back to the Finals.
Jerami Grant, F, Portland Trail Blazers
Grant would be an upgrade over P.J. Washington as the starting power forward with the Mavs, giving them a better defensive option who also hit a higher percentage of his threes (40.2 percent compared to 32.0 percent) last season.
Serving as the third or fourth scoring option while playing high-level, versatile defense on a championship-level team would be a nice transition for Grant coming off a 21-win Blazers squad.
Dorian Finney-Smith, F, Brooklyn Nets
Originally sent to the Nets in the deal that brought Irving to Dallas, the Mavs should have real interest in reuniting with their former forward.
Finney-Smith, 31, enjoyed the best years of his career in Dallas right before he was included in the trade and still fits this roster as a 3-and-D wing that could potentially start or come off the bench.
