I said it already. No. I don't think any team is particularly desperate to shed salary right now, enough to part with anything of value for just an expiring contract alone. The expiring contract will have to be part of a larger package along with first round picks and/or promising young prospects, and the Mavs have neither.
So yeah, the Mavs are in a pretty damn tough spot to make a trade-
especially before the deadline. If this free agent class were still historically loaded, then maybe. But this is now a really weak free agent class. So, I don't think anyone is eager to give up actual good players for James Johnson's expiring contract.
