Well, the difference is, that the Mavs took Fortson as part of the trade, so actually the Jamison trade was not about trading Jamison, but more about getting rid of Fortson while getting kinda equal value for Jamison back.

Now if you trade Jamison, add some nice talent and take another contract or lockerroom burden, you might actually increase the trade value of Jamison. As simple es that.

Well, of course it´s not as simple as that, but it´s Donns job to find takes if there´s need to move him.

For example:

packaging Howard, Delk and Jamison makes the Jamison deal himself alot cheaper and you have a pretty damn fine package of talent to ship.
