I think you might be somewhat underselling the Mavs abilities. They have 3 PGs who I believe they will use each of them in creating offense as well as running the point, when they play. (I think if Sergio is not as skilled as needed, they work to bring his level up, rather than find someone else to play.) They also have 2-3 wings who create offense - definitely both Flagg and also Naji, and perhaps PJ will also do some of that to some extent (and in an emergency, Martin has that skill set in his history). Keep in mind that they only need to play 1 or 2 at a time, and their 2 team leaders will be on the floor A LOT, so they have lots of ways to get a 3rd or 4th player on the floor to have plenty to make it work quite well.
I also think that to the extent that the above might (or might not) somehow be a tad short, it's close enough where the Mavs are thinking, "We're good. Let's roll with this." You never get the PERFECT roster. If you have small holes (and you always will) you just find ways to work around them. That's why May gets the big bucks, to figure it out.
So while we dream up all kinds of wild trade ideas to change this or that to some degree, I actually think they are essentially done.
I think they are mostly done as well, but I can't help but have PTSD from last summer when folks were on here saying they are fine from a creation standpoint. That we are free from Luka heliocentric basketball and now we can have more "flow" to the offense. The Mavs are obviously better off than last year, but if you have to mention PJ (and Martin, LOL!) then we are likely going to be in for some pain.
