copied from a post at mavsmoneyball:

"It wasnt even limited to just the Trade Deadline. We had a deal with OKC about moving down from 10 to 12 to allow them to take Wallace and Dal sending Bertans contract for Lively at 12. The cap space generated allowed us to acquire the 24th pick (which turned to Omax) and the contract of Holmes which we did then send to Washington along with that pick that we got from OKC at the deadline for Gafford.

OKC has been secretly helping the Mavs ever since the 2023 Draft."

So in some way/fashion directly or indirectly, OKC helped us get Lively, Gafford, and OMAX? hell yeah
