Teams selling guys prefer zero money back instead of some contract that doesn't do anything for them (they are most likely rebuilding anyway). Several teams used TE to their advantage in last couple of seasons. For example Nets got O'Neale in TE, Boston got Fournier,...
Those 2 examples you mentioned:
O'Neal cost the Nets a 1st and Boston had to give 2 2nds for Fournier. The Mavs can't be liberal with their draft assets for marginal upgrades. Which if a team is literally giving away a guy for a TPE and a pick, it'd be for a marginal upgrade.
