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.

One trade side, sometimes "leaks" their trade block to gauge player value. All part of the long arduous process.
Wall's been having knee issues, dating back to last season, so they've known that surgery was getting close. Tim Frazier will be adequate. Beal can also step in as well.
