I can't speak for Kamm, but MY thinking is that:

A) The Mavs aren't winning this year or next. 

B) That's about the window of expected positive contribution for Lowry.

C) At the end of that window, such a deal would result in the team being exactly where it is now, only without the benefit of whichever assets were given up to acquire Lowry. For example, if Brunson is outgoing, I think it's really likely that he'll be a better player in two years than Lowry is in two years. 

It just seems like a "win now" move that shouldn't be made for a team that clearly isn't close enough to make such a move. Building for the future seems so much more logical to me from the team's current point on their journey. It's nothing against Lowry, the player, whatsoever.

Agreed.  If we want older, expensive players we should be trading our expiring contracts for undesirable contracts to try to build up the war chest.  It's too bad Houston doesn't have the assets to make Wall worth while.  Kevin Love might be a candidate as his situation in Cleveland is really odd.  Still not sure you could milk enough assets to make it worthwhile.
