Think of Delon and Justin Jackson. Clearly not a fit in Dallas. One might argue that the trade for Johnson was purely self-serving on the Mavs' part, but one could also argue that it was a benefit to both those players to be put in a situation where they'd get more playing time.
As opposed to Danny Ainge, I think Donnie has done a better job of trades that benefit both teams.
I agree and great post, I was thinking of this the other day in how when we trade players its usually a best for the both of us outcome where everybody wins. The Harrison Barnes trade is a good example. The Mavs traded him to a team that planned on extending him. I expect that to be the same with Tim Hardaway Jr. if we do move him.
