I don't track with this.
There are just far too many unknowns to say it should have been "easy" for the Mavs to get a SnT done that they liked. It takes two to tango and if Rick Brunson is any indication of the NYK attitude toward DAL, then NYK refusing to work with DAL is the most natural thing.
And we don't know the rest of the Mavs plans for the summer and once we do it may become really clear why they didn't pursue the SnT path.
