The Suns are also young and will continue to get better. Jokic is about to enter his prime years. If Klay ends up still being somewhat of a decent player after his injury, the Warriors with Steph won't be easy either.
This isn't the early 2000s where the Mavs knew they could beat most of the West aside from 2-3 teams.
I'm most worried about the Nuggets and Grizzlies long term. I think they both have better front offices and already amassing a lot of young impact players.

There were no star free agents to get. Jae Crowder would have been a nice fit and they were interested but well, he decided to go to the Suns.
We could have overpaid some good role players in FA but who says we wouldn't have lost against the Clippers with those other role players?
There were a lot of good players available two summers ago. The Mavs either didn't realize the rest of the league was tampering or if you are to believe them, their first call was to Delon Wright.
