I believe for them it's all about turning that #30 in this season's draft (where they apparently don't like anyone) into a 2027 pick they believe could potentially be a lottery pick. They are eating Green's money as payment for another dice roll.
As an aside, if Green is healthy he's a pretty good player. He's no Kleber, but he IS a big who can shoot, which is something most teams want these days. They might make another cozy deal at the deadline that nets them another draft asset for shipping him out to a contender.
I know they are good at stacking the draft capital. Nobody is better. I just think they go overboard, personally. As a fan, I'm not sure I could get excited about it year after year after year. I do wish the Mavs had been better at it during that 3-5 years when it was appropriate for them to go that route.
