There is the possibility that the Mavs organization doesn't believe that this current group will 'gel' in a manner that would truly give them the opportunity to compete for a title. Also, it's conceivable that even if this team does 'gel' and reaches it's potential that they STILL wouldn't be able to play enough defense to compete for the title as the West continues to improve.

Yes, it would be a risky move. But, it could have greater rewards than the current group. However, it could also have the potential to blow up in the Mavs' face (similar to the current group)

How long would it take to gel? Yes, it would take longer. However, I'm willing to bet that the team would at least consistently play better defense while they were attempting to gel on the offensive side.

Is it worth taking a look at this trade? of course
Is it worth making the deal?...alot of issues to discuss both pro and con
