1) JR might not have opted in to just to be traded wherever the Mavs wanted.
2) There is zero chance any of us can know if his contract "would be much more useful." The Mavs may have scoured the league looking for takers of JR (as Jake Fischer hinted at weeks ago) and found basically no interest. BOS may have been the only interest. It is possible that DP is more valued (or just as valued) as a player as JR.
All speculation. We don't know. And criticizing the Mavs in areas where we have such great ignorance is off base IMO.
