As I mentioned above, they have incentive to reject it.
A-It puts early expiry time on their asset: since they turned from a young team, into competitive one , they most likely view it as trade asset rather than a pick they will use, either way they better served waiting on it rather than being rushed one year earlier.
B-They would know we will then use our nrw flexibility for trades to improve the team, which is the opposite of what they want, the worse the Mavs, the better the pick for Knicks.
Unless we are sending extra asset, I really don't get the Knicks angle to accept such move.
All of that may or may not be true. Dallas is going to try to get better with or without NY’s help. So, B doesn’t do much for me.
Rushed? Expiring time on their asset? The theory is sooner and unprotected is greater than later and protected whether they use the pick or trade it elsewhere.
