Official Trade deadline 2016 thread

[Underdog]

This team is more than a piece or two away from being a contender, and I'm not sure if they have enough assets to trade for a difference-maker anyway.

Honestly, the Mavs feel like they're on cruise control until Dirk is no longer the best player on the roster (either because they find another superstar, his game falls off a cliff, or he retires...)

I feel like they are maybe one trade and a couple of good free agents/drafts from being good again.

Unfortunately, as you said, the only guys we can really afford are those guys that put teams over the top or solidify solid teams. Those guys aren't bad, but we have limited assets.

And that's enough reason to keep our powder dry at the trade deadline... No point in shaking things up now if we still need an offseason to right the ship.
