DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

AD,Lebron, Kawhi,PG, Oladipo,Derozen,Gobert,Adams and may be even Jrue will be free agents in 2021 most likely. Other 2nd tier Dinwiddie,Schroder,Josh Richardson,Oubre,Bjelica,Aldridge,Conley. Could move some names like Adams and Derozen to 2nd tier.Those are players we basically get for THJ and may be Wright and whatever we put on trade for him. 

OTOH, what is the alternatives?Most of the proposed trades here are one of 3 things:
1-Pure fantasy, no team would accept those offers. This is normal among fans when talking about trades. 

2-Doesn't improve us as much, and an overpay.

3-Would kill the team chemistry we have been building build:
A lot of those trades are based on "we need x number of starters" which I disagree with. This team is built on chemistry, we tried to build that in 2018 but KP trade presented itself, when we traded Barnes Luka was furious about his teammates leaving.  The end of the season was difficult.
We rebounded, built a team that is from guys we groomed like DFS,Maxi,Seth and new additions like KP, THJ. Everyone knows his role in this team, there is great in and off the court chemistry. They are young and inexperienced, we are still at early stage of developing. We made life more difficult on the Clippers than 3rd seed Denver. And yet people thinks that at most we have only 3 starters and want to blow the rest of the team that isn't named Luka & KP? 

People has bad history with plan powder, but plan win now can also be killer, the Rondo trade should be a reminder that team chemistry is far more important than the names we bring. 

Jrue trade is good example of this, one proposed trade here included Wright and some of our garbage, why would Pelicans accept that? Another trade included Brunson, THJ, 18+31 iirc, that basically giving all of our youth for 30 years old who had only 4 playoff appearance from 11 years career, who could walk next year if he became success, or stay if he was bad to get his money. 

I don't have a problem with criticizing plan powder, I have a problem with the alternatives
