What I heard on that Front Office roundtable podcast on Adrian Wojnarowski's podcast is that teams bounce hundreds of trade ideas between each other, but only a handful actually get done. They said the ones that get done almost always take weeks, sometimes months or even a full year to get worked out.

I think things like "Wall just got hurt. Now the Wizards are gonna need to trade with us..." those kinda thoughts are for the fans, for fun. The real trade process in the NBA moves much slower than that.

If the Mavs are going to work out a trade before the deadline, it's almost certain it's a deal they've been working on already for weeks.
