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

[ItsGoTime]

I just don´t see the logic behind any attempt to clear capspace instead of improving the roster this summer. No reason to punt on this years free agency and the MLE when the Mavs could easily clear capspace next summer. Why trade this years 1st when they can also wait a year and use the 2025 pick.
For whatever reason the MBT thinks that they need to clear capspace a year before they might need it. Do it when you have a free agent that is willing to sign a contract.

This is the crux of it all. We talk about the sweeping change in coaching and players in the NBA, but don't talk about the sweeping changes in strategies on acquiring players. This is the biggest divergence from those that try to think about what the FO WILL do, as opposed to what they SHOULD do (and very much CAN do, if they had personnel that had the confidence to execute such a plan). The antiquated way of clearing space year after year is so outdated and was never an actual good plan to begin with.
