I personally think that's absurd. It impinges greatly on the balance of the trade. The Mavs clearly thought of the pick as likely to fall well outside the lottery when they made the trade. If we give them the 14th pick, then that moves the balance of the trade to them and reflects more poorly on the MBT. If they end up with a top four pick, then the trade will have been historically bad from the Mavs' end.
