there is nothing that says we are using him

The Mavs and Donnie have "used" Fish for decades. That isn't a bad thing. He gets real information, but he gets the info THEY want out and are not trying to hide. It's just how it works, nothing personal.

 
1-Past is irrelevant in the context of my reply, I never denied it happening on the past, I am denying it happening now.

2-Your original reply depends a lot on the assumption that Mavs control who they leak information about who they met, which is false.
Agents and players have something to gain to say who they met, it will get leaked sooner or later,just like Mavs contacting other teams but even more. 

3-To leak it to Fish, Mavs through him something real,which is good to keep relationship with Fish, while not giving him anything at all since those information will sooner or later be public knowledge. 
At the same time,  this information is helpful too, because while they can't hide they met the player they want (unless they didn't meet him, which would be bad) they can keep which one of them they like.

4-The only way to keep whom they met and like, is the player accepting it, problem is players benefits from making it known they met many teams and wanted by them, unless they get a promise from a team they like with high enough pick. Which doesn't make sense in our situation. 

TLDR version: Mavs are using Fish, but by not denying who they like, but with adding other nanes. The one we are targeting might be one of those he mentions
