Maybe the Mavs have something up their sleeves (although that can also be really scary), but I think I am fine with staying patient. Use the TPMLE and create a spot to sign a veteran point like Exum or someone similar and then see what happens for the first of the season. I am all for keeping good players on good contracts and staying flexible. If you start next year and you are better than you think, than maybe you can think about a bigger trade. In all liklihood, next year may be fun (it better be more fun than this year) but not a true contender. If things go right, I think the following year is when they could be really good and may look to make that finishing move. Also, next years draft is going to be really important to this team. Either with trade or with the pick. Ideally it is a younger player who can be a rotation type player sooner than later.
If things go right, I think this team is missing a Jrue or Derek White type player. Hopefully they are south of 30 though. They are hard to find so you will need to be patient and smart with your current assets.
