Sure at best he is a third or fourth option but his current production is miles better than any SF in the league aside from Lebron and maybe PG.

Better than the guy who replaced him in Golden State?
Barnes is a good guy to have around. While he's way overpaid for a guy who's arguably an average starter, he has a valuable skillset, championship experience, and by all accounts is a consummate professional. He and Wes Matthews are fantastic tank commanders because they are seemingly good locker room guys who won't run the risk of winning you too many games. I think that's what Sacramento attempted last summer with the signings of Hill, Randolph and Carter.
It does seem awfully likely that they'll add DeAndre Jordan or DeMarcus Cousins. I'm not sure either would be a good idea, but if Doncic is really good out of the gates, they could sign another big name next summer as well.

I am under the impression that they intend to compete next season but I don't see how that is possible.

I wouldn't call Barnes a tank commander, Wes probably but the Mavericks wasn't really supposed to tank the season they got Barnes. Combination of injuries, poor play and atrocious start that led to them tanking.

Assuming Doncic turns out good the only other guaranteed starter there is Smith. Dirk won’t be playing forever, only reason Barnes is still with the team is because they can’t easily move his contract, Seth Curry injury prone like his brother but less talented, rest of the roster are either old or scrubs.

.What might be interesting is if whether LeBron signs in Cleveland or LA is if he signs a 1 year or 1+1 deal and we go through the same process again next year. Everyone seems to be assuming he (and the other big free agents) will be signing max deals for the maximum amount of years
