The Mavs are good. Not at the level of GS oder Cavs but I think a better starting 5 than 2011! But other team are better today.
But maybe the Mavs can play some good moves.

I think Powell will play well, but I do not expect the next Dirk. So maybe the Mavs can enable a trade in Februar, send a starting PF to Wolves and reveive their reduant PG, if Dunn are able to become Starting PG:

Wolves:
-Powell
-Harris

Mavs:
-Payne
-Rubio

Rubio would fit well as a facilitator and he can defend.

In 2017 summer, the Mavs should try to sign Griffin or if possible Cousins! Maybe Mavs can Setup a sign and trade max offer:

Kings:
-1st pick

Mavs:
-Cousins

If they can procede like that, Mavs would be back as a top contender! Flexible to play big or small!

Bogut/ Cousins, Mejri, Hammons
Cousins/ Dirk/ Barnes, .
Barnes/ Anderson
Wes, DWil
Rubio, DWil, Curry.

Rubio is easily worth more than that.

And the Kings would want way more than that.

Wolves aren't trading Rubio for that load of hot garbage.

Wolves will have a pretty good Team in a couple of years. But will not start their play off run this year. So Rubio will be a UFA in the summer, to get something back five month before is better, than loose him for nothing. And Rubio likes Dallas, because he would fit well at Mavs System.

Cousins is more difficult, maybe Kings will as for two 1st picks. But Cousins will have only one year left or opt out of his contract. And I do not see Kings winning this Season better than last, so Cousions will ask to Play elsewhere as well. And their are not so much Teams, he will join and will have the perfect spot for him. And a Team like Lakers will not send Russell away, so Kings can get a very good Play in a Cousins trade, but not a Superstar or a very good rookie. So 1st round picks is the best value and in a sign and trade a 30m trade exception, so the may lure another big contract away.

ignore the rubio trade. he has the mavs getting cousins for a 1st. Literally, that's it. A first. In a sign and trade, when he is still under contract. Get. Out. Of. Here.

Again, Rubio is under contract for three more years at what is now a very decent 12 mill per. He is not
, I repeat NOT, a UFA at the end of the year.

Dude, Rubio isn't a free agent for another 3 years.

Wait. Did he just say the Kings make that move for an 30 million dollar trade exception? Put down the bong drainer. No need to be irrational here.
