IMO they are "missing the forest for the trees". The players, on the contracts they are on and their age, are the new assets if you need to pursue a high value 3rd star type of talent. I think the mavs have set themselves up for flexibility on the court as well as in the future for roster building. You can't always trade for a pg13 type player with 4-5 picks. We are better now then yesterday morning and we have young players and after the pick conveys to the Knicks we will have a small amount of draft capital as well if we need to put a package of youthful talent and picks together.
