I know we love to give Nico and Lindsey the lion share of credit for the Mavs most recent trades, but I think this hire in 2021 was really the turning point of the Mavs starting to make financially smart moves.

Not sure why it says 2023-24, as he was hired August of 2021. Same season Mavs cut bait on KP. Before the Mavs he was apart of Brooklyn's cap strategy team from 2016-2021 and before that was apart of the Spurs head office for 2 years. He's credited for making up the creative SnT Brooklyn created with D'Lo for KD in 2019.
That savvy cap strategy paired with Lyndsey/Nico/Finley's newfound focus on extracting maximum draft value through trades is to me a big reason why we've seen such creative trades the last 2 years.
