The Mavs are slowly but surely getting back from all the Covid stuff and injuries. DFS and Maxi look better, I also like what I'm seeing from JRich(I know that his stats and advanced stats aren't great, but I think that they are a bit missleading. He slowly getting back in form - I think that his shooting % will go up, I think that he probably has the most in&outs this season ).
I also like the progression of KP. I think that he is slowly getting more confident and comfortable with his knee and that's a huge factor IMO. We are slowly getting KP putbacks and KP going to the basket,... back. And he is still 2-4 weeks away from being in peak form. I just hope he stays healthy so he will finaly have an offseason to work on his game(last 3 years he was comming back from injury )
And I have a word or two to say about WCS. I think that his defense has bit a bit overlooked here lately.
Looking at free agency 2021 I don't realy like any guy that much. Collins would be nice, but I think that he'll get overpaid(he is not worth the max(the max I would give to him is Brogdon money 85/4). My 2 favourites would be Lonzo and Holmes. And I would absolutely resign THJ.
But the best way to go is to look at 2023 free agency. After the draft the Mavs would have all the picks to trade(high possibility), worse case scenario with KP would be that he opts in and becomes a 36mil expiring contract. Also Powell expires after the 22/23 season. If the Mavs sign THJ and others for 2 years, they will have capspace in 2023. Why that year? There are many great free agents in 2023( https://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/2023/ ) - Jokic, Beal, Embiid, Brogdon, Turner, Wood, Capella, Grant, Butler,... That's the time to build a real contender IMO.
