Spot on ^.
I think the Mavs prefer the ability to always have a fresh center, and neither has to worry about fouls. Also there's extra capacity in reserve in case of injury.
There's also no avenue to a trade that would be of great use. Mavs are so deep at every position that you get back someone you can't use. The result would be a pointless salary clogging the payroll which of course is a Nico Special, sadly (see Martin, C.). But I greatly prefer to keep our super-strong center rotation, which was how the Mavs won a title (and could have won more, if Cuban hadn't cheaped out).
