I think it had more to do with dedicating to the next couple years of his contract than what we'd have to give up...
If the Mavs FO isn't sold on him being a long-term solution for this team through the rest of Dirk's prime (understandable, considering his injury history), then why dedicate a bulk of your future assets to the guy, especially with all questions surrounding the new CBA?
Besides, we still need to re-sign Tyson Chandler...
(not that I wouldn't love to see Crash in a Mavs uni, but it's not my money...)
