Yeah, makes sense, got it. But (assuming adding a 2-way guy in trade at the deadline is legal and is their plan), if they had filled the 2-way slot when they could, it wouldn't bar them from trading for a more promising 2-way guy later (they would just have to waive the one they signed, no biggie).
Frankly I don't think there is a GOOD excuse. They had an opening, and didn't have any idea how to use it. Sad situation. The Mavs development, G-L, 2-way department has always been done poorly, and still has miles to go to be the useful talent-readying tool it should be.
