This roster needs talent infusion. I believe Mavs should go all in to do it.

---------

What confuses me is why Mavs didn't make this moves (or at least one of them) in the summer, since it is so obvious.

 
I'm responding not to the author, but the idea, because I keep seeing this sentiment.

I don't think "want to" is stopping the Mavs from upgrading.

The obstacle that the Mavs are always facing, is that you can't "upgrade" just because you feel like it. What competing team wants your junk for their talent? The trade partner will want to "win" the trade too. The biggest desire to trade is meaningless, if you don't have the right players to offer, on the right contracts, and at a position the other team might want. Plus, the very reason you want to get rid of certain players is also an obstacle to getting anyone to take them.

The way to get better is to evaluate players (vs cost) better than anyone else, in free agency and the draft. The Mavs have long been bad at both, and Nico certainly wasn't the guy to do that in the summer. How is he ready now, to win a trade that the other team will only do if they can get what their experts believe to be the better end of the deal?
