My .02.
Waiting until this offseason would be totally foolish as the chances of landing the 2 biggest assets are basically 0. There has to be a fairly significant trade in the next week or 2 to fortify our low post defense. If we can get a solid back up (or even starting) PG as part of the deal, then you do it. Everyone expect Dirk and Mayo should be available (though Collison would also be off the table unless there was an upgrade at PG available, which is not likely right now). Timing is everything here. We're seeing Dirk's numbers improving each outing, yet he's getting increasingly frustrated. If a difference maker doesn't happen now and the Mavs see another slump, I'm betting on Dirk retiring at the end of his contract. Which would put us on a 3 to 5 year rebuild from scratch plan hoping to get lucky in a draft.
