Has it ever been established whether the Mavs could even trade for Simmons?

I know that Luka was gotten via trade but it was a trade before he ever signed an NBA contract. So does that violate the NBA rule about not having two players on designated rookie extension who were acquired via trade?

The Mavs CAN trade for Simmons. Luka does not count toward that rule, his first contract was signed with DAL.
