With the open roster slot, I think a couple of possibilities are in play...
DAL, like most other teams, are waiting to see if there is a big Westbrook/Mitchell/Durant mega-deal, with the hopes that (even if they are not a primary participant) there will be opportunities for improvement from the fallout. If the deal doesn't materialize, then just go into the season with the open spot (possibly filled with a waivable minimum player).
If this happens, then we need to watch the early season returns for a play-in level team that is not functioning well and decides to get into the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes early. Or has an injury that makes an expiring Powell even more attractive. Unless somebody craters early, I'd start looking for trade action just after the Christmas holidays.
Right now it's just mid-offseason doldrums. Baseball is mind numbingly boring and the biggest news is whether some multi-millionaire golfers are going to approach billionaire-hood by switching to a Saudi-backed golf league. I find myself looking forward to seeing some EuroBasket, even the friendly games.
