I don't think the Mavs will be making any trades until all of the restrictions wear off. There's plenty of time for our current non-Luka/KP players to raise their trade value. Of course, if that happens, unless whatever trade we made was a slam-dunk, then there will be a ton of guys whinging, "I can't believe we traded _____________."
This year feels a little bit like the Jameer/Rondo year to me. Most important thing is not to make a trade that irrevocably kills chemistry, especially if it's for an expiring guy whom we can't wait for the door to hit him on the way out. I think our most valuable trade chip is Wright, and I don't want to see him go for anyone who isn't top 50 in the league, especially given his contract. That said, this is still a team that plays three bench guys in the starting lineup, and (IIRC) is not going to have more than the MLE and their draft pick to rectify that next summer. I think they have to add a player for Lee and 2nds if nothing else, whether that guy is a starter or simply strengthens our non-Luka/KP corps.
