It was quite a contentious discussion on here, yeah. When Miami got Oladipo last year for Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk, and a pick swap, there were a few posters on here that were aghast that the Mavs didn't outbid Miami. They argued that this was the same old Mavs, not being aggressive, standing pat and simply saying "we like our team." The general consensus seemed to be that a deal for Oladipo would require Brunson, a couple of our expiring contracts, and a second round pick or two.
I argued A: Oladipo was just about washed, and B: he had already made it known that he was going to Miami anyway, so if anyone other than Miami got him, it would only be like a 2 month rental, so it made no sense to give up whatever precious, limited assets the Mavs had for him.
