Because apparently they don't, if they took what was reported and think it means the Mavs were declining to talk about Brunson no matter who might have ever been offered. It just wouldn't work that way.
Teams talk to teams every day. In fact, basically EVERY team is checking in with EVERY team - that's the nature of the business. In those conversations, they are taking the temperature on every team's desire and willingness to move players. Without limit. That's how the game is played.
That wording means the Mavs were not soliciting offers for Brunson, and apparently no one was being shopped that interested the Mavs enough to consider making Brunson available. BUT everything is relative.
