Edit: this board is schizophrenic. One day people are in a panic to dump PJ and Gafford because they no longer have value and their contracts are baggage. The next day they're valuable assets. Hey, I'm just throwing out what middle of the road creators perceive as value. Just an off-season thought.

I do agree there tends to be a lot of "grass is greener over there" thinking, where the talented medium-sized contract is baggage in DAL and desirable if elsewhere. But I don't agree with it, and have never been "in a panic to dump PJ and Gafford" nor have I felt "they no longer have value and their contracts are baggage." 

I think all the Mavs bigger players got screwed last season by Nico's Mavs' poorly constructed roster, and that they are underappreciated right now as a result. I consider last year a gap year, and if traded, I would want full value, because I expect they will look very different with better table-setters and ball-handlers in the mix.
