Ryan Anderson would be someone I could see the Mavs going after and would be a fit plus provide scoring off the bench.
That $8.5mil salary will be hard to match though.

Anderson would allow Dirk's minutes to be reduced while allowing Mavs to still have scoring on the floor.

Three things to keep in mind with Anderson:

1. There are probably about 10-15 teams bidding against us for his services, most having more assets than we do
2. He can take some of the scoring pressure off of Dirk, but the two of them absolutely can't play together
3. He's looking at a potential max deal, or at least very close to it this summer, so you either trade for him knowing he's a rental or you are committing a huge chunk of our future cap space to him.

Yeah, IDK about his game as a whole but I know Ryan Anderson has size and can spread the floor like Dirk. That seems to be the type of PF Rick likes.
If I'm not mistaken he seems to be a little scrappy too.
