Might not feel like it this year, but probably will when the Clippers, Warriors and Nuggets return to full strength next year and the Grizzlies and Wolves have another year of experience.
This kind of comment does not really help your cause. Comparing the Mavs to Kings, Pistons or Magic is silly. Luka even on his super max is still one of the best assets in the league. I would argue Luka/DFS/Brunson/Din are all assets right now and a good core of a team. If green continues his progression next year he will join that group. They also have several quality rotational players who will at least be salary filler (Maxi, Powell, Bullock, THJ when he gets healthy).
Will the Clippers, Warriors and Nuggets ever return to full strength? They all have aging/injury prone cores who may never be fully healthy again. We already dumped our injury prone issue.
The Griz and Wolves are dangerous young teams, but neither has a player of Luka's caliber to dominate in the playoffs.
The FO has made a lot of mistakes since the Luka/Brunson draft, but this roster is still fairly young and probably just one piece away from contention. Does not really seem like a position to be full doom and gloom.
