I've seen some thoughts about WAS not having leverage since they desperately wanted to get off of DB/SD and therefore the Mavs shouldn't have had to give a pick. I can understand that perspective.
But one thing I'm wondering about is whether or not Dallas was the only team trying to trade a big contract for those two contracts? For example, everyone knows LAL was trying to get rid of WB, so maybe they (or another team in a similar situation) was trying to do the same thing DAL did, so maybe there was actually competition for those players (as hard as that may be to believe) and that added to the cost?
Have no idea if that's the case or not obviously, just trying to think of different situations that might have come into play.
