Folks that aren't in a rush to make an immediate trade would also like to build a dynasty. And they'd probably cheer a sudden trade that made the Mavs better. I hope so anyway.
Not sure about the "6 centers" thing. I've been a "1 big" proponent. But it looks like the Mavs like to play some of those guys you list with centers. Also, THJ and JRich both playing as wings is not unusual these days in the NBA. It doesn't seem too wonky to me. Also, it's been rare over the years for Rick to use platooned lineups. Staggered is more typical of his lineups.
All of that is to say, I don't see the need for a roster balancing trade. Always open to a talent increasing trade, as long as it doesn't make us worse by making us too top heavy.
Good points. I don't think team patient vs team brave is that different from one another. Just one is more cautious to rock the boat, while the other is motivated to get better on paper.
Same coin... almost the same side?
In any case I do think the roster is a bit imbalanced and needs to eventually be addressed through a trade. Whether that be shipping of WCS for a minor piece or making a big splash with what's left with our assets, I don't know. But I do think that the best avenue for this team to get better is through trades and I don't trust Donnie in free agency.
