Iirc, James Johnson was sold as an enforcer, and J Rich as an important playmaker and stopper. Both of which would have been optimistic takes, to say the least.
Whatever they thought at the beginning of the season, we are where we are now. However, if they really thought or still think they have one of the best rosters in the West, that might provide some insight into the reasons for not making more moves. If they think they're set, why should they?
Yeah, I don't want to get into an argument because I agree they have probably been too optimistic about their roster and thought they are closer then they really are. Although if Luka and KP play at their peak, they probably aren't far away.
As far as moves go, I don't expect much besides a fringe move if one happens. I will be disappointed if they move a rookie. And besides that the Mavs really don't have many attractive assets. With very few teams looking to blow things up and many teams looking to be buyers, I just don't see much out there. Plus, big changes at the trade deadline are very tricky to incorporate into a team midseason.
