There's many factors to consider:
1) current roster & fit
2) age & production
3) contract dollars & future cap
4) cost of the trade

I make a try for Boucher, he could be very cheaper and can't be worse than WCS and Powell.

Gordon's averaging 14 on over 55% from 3 this year and would be a great fit with Frank off the bench if JB continues to start. If for cheap like Dwight + Burke + 2nd round pick like has been suggested on this board and the trade discussion board several times, you absolutely do it. Even if he sucks, at least you get rid of the ability for Kidd to play Dwight

Sexton has improved his value this year with better playmaking and other than a boatload of picks like what MIL traded for Jrue Holiday, I don't see what Dallas can offer that's appealing to Cleveland. He would be my top target
2. The lottery picks with potential that busted with their OG team. Guys like Sekou and Killan just aren't NBA players but guys like Bagley and Bamba are.
I am not sure if you can land Bamba but Bagley is possible for sure. I would target him. It's nearly impossible to get a potential two way wing and I think you don't need to with Luka and Tim.
3. Center to me is the biggest area of need. If DAL had a Clint Capela type, they would be so much better for out it. I don't know who you can target. Myles Turner would be perfect but you don't have the trade value unless you massively overpay with multiple unprotected 1sts.
Dallas has depth, they have a nice 5-12. 2-4 is a tad questionable. KP was a clear 2 but his regression makes him a decent 4. Tim is a clear elite 6th man who can function as a solid 3rd option which is fine but teams like Denver have MPJ, PHX has Ayton, as 3rd options makes you need a stronger 3 unless your depth is elite. So even if KP is the 4 and Tim is the 3rd, that's not enough even with a transcendent player like Luka. Dallas just had to keep trying to add talent. Jason has proven to be good at player development unlike aging Rick where you have to be polished from the jump.
