I think it is obvious Mavs didn't find a good trade and the plan is to try to boost value of THJ and than address the need for third ballhandler (not necesarily a PG) in the summer.
The only thing I think they might do this season is trade Powell with some minor sweeteners. Or perhaps the plan is to sign him for BaE level contract next season and use as a third string center. I doubt any team would offer him more. Dumping Bertans for less money is also something I can see they will look for, but will have trouble finding.
I think there will be two general directions next season:
1) Upgrade the second guard spot with an "all-in" kind of move (basically THJ minutes and some SD minutes)
2) stay under the tax
