If the Mavs get another big scorer in the frontcourt, they don't have to depend on LaF's dubious 3-pt shooting ability to generate points from the outside, and take some of the scoring burden/defensive pressure off Dirk. But they WILL need a utility player who will set picks, swing the ball, and hit the boards. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be Raef's game.
Raef becomes another tradeable asset a la NVE, and the Mavericks can pursue a true yet-to-be-identified head-knockin', cold-cockin', crowd-shockin', shot-blockin', 48-minute-clockin', rim-rockin, rebound-sockin' big man.
But this will be down the road apiece, by and by...
