John Collins has fit this roster for a while now. (edit: much better now with Lively)

Collins could also log some minutes as a stretch 5. That is something the Mavs do not have right now (maybe Kleber eventually, but I wouldn't count on it). Collins' salary is way too high for his expected contribution, but it might be worth it if you can make a trade without giving up Hardy or Green (might need them for a second move down the road).
