Let's consider a hypothetical where the Mavs re-sign Brand and Wright, and sign Dalembert.
So you replace Kaman with Sammy.
You replace Collison/Mike James/Roddy/Dojo with Calderon/Harris/Mekel/Larking
You replace Mayo/Dhantay Jones/Morrow with Harris/Ellington
I mean, there's obviously some questions to be answered, but would you really bet a large amount of money that the new group fits and performs significantly worse than the old group?
Give me Dirk for a whole season and I don't buy the notion that the Mavs aren't completely capable, as of now, to put together a roster that puts them in the race for the 6-8 seed for the season.

This team looks like it will be worst.
Calderon a PG for a team that rarely make the playoffs...Raptors and Pistons even chase out of town by Lowry in the Toronto situation
Harris a back up for the Hawks
Dalembert a back up for the Bucks
Elliington a back up for the Cavs
Dirk, Marion and VC, mid 30's player one year older.
A West conference with improving teams....Yea they will be worse!!
