Dragic, DSJ, Green, Kleber and Powell is pretty solid bench unit.

Smith was waived because he is out 4 weeks with an injury. Doubt he is a candidate here.
And there was no guarantee we got Dragic anyway. What if we don't trade KP and Dragic still signs with Brooklyn? You could make the case that getting Dinwiddie shielded them from Mavs missing out on him after months of interest.
But yes, I mentioned a few times going with Luka/Brunson/Bullock/DFS/KP. We definitely have a better shot at advancing with that lineup.
BUT we aren't a contender either way, so there it is.
