It means they are trying to steal players they like from desperate teams (which they view Dallas as).

I think Ainge is in the business of trying to sell high on guys or sell them before he loses them for nothing AND in the process acquiring guys he thinks he can get Will Hardy to bolster the value of. 

I bet Ainge thinks he could acquire DFS and then flip him in a year or two to a contender after some showcasing (DFS's contract makes this possible). Vanderbilt as an example needs to be flipped soon because of his contract.
