Precisely. It feels like the Mavs were indecisive here. Like, they thought they could maybe re-sign him a the price they wanted, so they waited, and then were caught with their pants down when the Knicks went all-out. That's just my impression.
They should have decided very early on to either keep him at all costs, or get something for him. If they wanted facilitate a sign and trade with the Knicks, I think they could have done it easily. But they waited until the Knicks got what they needed elsewhere, and now we get nothing.
