What was asserted in the Brunson thread was that the Mavs would have full Bird rights on him this summer and be able to offer him the farm if they wanted. That's the case with trading him as well - whoever trades for him has the best shot of him suiting up for them next year as well. He ought to fetch a fair amount in trade if the Mavs go that route. Obviously, to get back a rotation player who isn't on a rookie (or rookie-sized) deal, you'd have to throw other players in with him.There would be uncertainty for sure, but it’s not full on rental as well. The team just needs to knowcthey have a good shot at keeping him.
