The reason that Finley didn't receive a no-trade clause is because both he and the Mavs understand that things change. Would Finley be happy with a trade? No. Would the Mavs be happy trading him? No, but if they got a player of equal talent who happens to play PF/C then the deal is done. But realistically Finley isn't going anywhere. He is a coach's dream in regards to dedication and class. And no team with a PF/C of equal talent is going to be stupid enough to deal that player. Talented big men are too rare.
