As far as moves go, I don't expect much besides a fringe move if one happens. I will be disappointed if they move a rookie. And besides that the Mavs really don't have many attractive assets. With very few teams looking to blow things up and many teams looking to be buyers, I just don't see much out there. Plus, big changes at the trade deadline are very tricky to incorporate into a team midseason.
If I came across antagonistic, that was not my intention. I tend to assume that the Mavs are at least as aware of the holes in their roster as we are, but now and then I hear some report that shocks me. I still think it is likely that they are just doing their "We love our boys in blue" routine.
Agree that mid-season trades are difficult, although I don't think they should let that stop them if something good comes up. Also agree that nothing much, if anything, is to be expected at the TDL, and that the team shouldn't make a move just to look like they are doing something.
