His value would only lessen in that it would save the team he's traded to less money as they would have already started paying salary to the players they trade to the Mavs. It would still provide them immediate salary relief, just not as much as a scenario in which he's acquired and cut during the offseason.
He does have to be paid once the season start until the day he's cut. That is correct.
I don't think there's any way Damp's on any team under his current contract when rosters are set for the 10-11 season.
