If they don't get the 2024 FRP, they could agree behind closed door that the team is drafting for Mavs and then actually trade the rookie in July. But I don't think these kind of moves ever happen.
Edit: are you sure that OKC deal with Bertans wasn't finalized until July? Because that would also mean, that on draft night, Sacramento was sending Holmes into TE that was not there yet until July. What if the OKC-Mavs deal would go sour for whatever reason? If teams are ok doing such deals, that opens up a lot of possibilities
Teams agree to trades that are completed later all the time. The Anthony Davis to the Lakers trade took until August to officially finalize because the Lakers were star hunting.
Typically once trades are agreed upon, they're completed. Unless a player's health is misrepresented or something. Which is rare.
