The fact that the Mavs weren't able to do so is a knock against Nico (or Cuban) and his ability to close tough deals. There's no other way around this. Especially since move would've benefitted BOTH NYK and DAL.
Benefited the Mavs how? By getting them a TPE? But to what end?
And maybe NYK has ZERO desire for the full MLE.
We have to make assumptions about what both teams want/desire. And frankly we aren't in the position to have a clue about either.
