However, even him didn't wright a single word about getting assets for Lee and TPE. Neither did any other "insider" mention any scenario where Mavs are shopping Lee and TE for picks.
From reading and listening I get the picture that the Mavs are working hard looking for upgrades. There aren't details about "who and what" because the Mavs are tight lipped about that.

It's not an excuse, it's just reality. Sometimes standing pat is better than the deals available.

It's not like all teams make huge deals every year. In the 2018 and 2019 calendar years the Mavs made two of the best deals made (you really saw no creativity or willingness to improve the team in those deals?). In 2020 this forum is upset that we didn't get Burks and GRIII. Trade home runs typically don't happen annually. And to me, the fact that we didn't get Burks and GRIII means absolutely nothing.
