Mavs don't need to change much to still be the team to beat in '07-'08

[Big Shot Rob]

I've seen a few threads here where Mav fans are disappointed because the team doesn't seem to be pulling the trigger on major trades.

Although I love the Spurs--I have to admit--I think the Mavs overall were the better team last year.

GSW looks like it will be a fairly different team next year with some of their major players being signed away by other teams.

When you're the best team--you don't need to be doing much more than merely tinkering here and there, which seems to be the plan the Mavs are doing this summer.

Actually, I think this is a sign of maturity and strength. Why make a big splash when your team won the most games last year?

Spurs are in a slightly different boat in that Bruce Bowen seems to be getting old enough to be the father of some of the players he is opposing. Pop seems to be trying to get his successor in place this summer, which is the best way that I can understand the Scola trade.
