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.
Absolutely nothing you said have me reconsider my opinion. The trade is a done deal. The pick to Knicks is a done deal. Water under the bridge for me. I care about tomorrow, not about yesterday. The trade was judged at time of trade and I would do it 10 times out of 10. Being a general after the battle is not my thing.
