Exactly. There is so much future gain in such a scenario and very little downside if the Mavs are confident about the guy they are targeting. I think the Mavs much prefer to trade for draft picks WHEN they make them rather than draft picks that will convey in some unknown way.
When is the last time the Mavs ever traded for a future first when the pick wasn't being made at the time of the trade?
