Have to disagree the only reason the Mavs have gotten better is due to existing assets improving, ie Luka, DFS and the KP tax THJ.
They haven’t used the offseason to add anything to the team. 
Not signing anyone to a bad deal is a pretty low bar for a front office and unacceptable if they intend to play for a title in the next 5 years.

They resigned all of their own guys (including KP), signed curry and flipped him for a solid draft pick and Richardson. That's the last 2 offseasons. It's really not new additions but resigning your own guys you acquired is important and you have seen just how important with DFS and Kleber this year. 

Also context for last year, Mavs didn't have actual cap space. And they chose not to spend assets to create the cap space. 

Additionally the thing I like most about the last few offseasons for the Mavs is that they clearly have a vision for the team. Defenders who can shoot. Those guys are highly sought after and unfortunately Mavs didn't close the deal. Criticize away on that. But they also didn't panic and screw up future plans.

Sometimes the best moves you make are the ones you don't. We've shown that repeatedly with these free agents we went after that flopped. 
Honestly it seems like their is curse on FAs that spurn us. They flame out shortly after haha.
