And any mid-season trade inevitably involves a disruption in chemistry for a period of time, so they may want to be conservative about making tweaks around the edges, in order to maintain continuity for their young team.Quote:I think the Mavs would love to pull the trigger now if they saw a way to improve the team at an acceptable cost.I'm sure they are making and receiving calls, I wonder how serious they are taking it?
Not saying they shouldn't make a trade. I just don't expect anything groundbreaking, in view of circumstances. Who knows, maybe I'll be wrong?
