This part is interesting, Warriors trying to get below the tax line:

That takes us to Kevon Looney. A productive big who makes $4.4 million, Looney likely has positive trade value and could be flipped for a second-round pick to a team with a small trade exception.

"There is only one other eight digit exception league-wide, which is the league’s most underrated trade chip right now: Dallas’s $11.8 million remaining exception from the Harrison Barnes trade. Importantly, the Mavs are far enough below the tax line to use the whole thing.
The exception probably isn’t quite big enough to make it a real gold mine, especially in concert with the Mavs’ lack of first-round draft equity. But it has some potential – for instance, the Mavs could swallow a contract like that of former Mav Jae Crowder, in return for the 2020 Golden State second-round pick the Mavericks own, which has suddenly turned into a lottery ticket.
[b]3. Most contenders have their hands tied. [/b]Dallas is an exception to the rule – a good team that still may have some realistic trade possibilities. The summer of 2019 arms race has left several of the most prominent contenders scrounging for ammo at this year’s trade deadline."

The Mavs part of the story.
