At best they could trade the 2025 pick during the 2025 draft. At least that's the way I understand the rules.
The only way I could see that happening is if the Mavs actually drafted the player for the 2024 draft and THEN sent it to the Knicks - but I don't see that as legal because it isn't a draft day trade. It took place YEARS ago.
I can't give you official explanation on how exactly Stepien rule apply, I just know this is true as basically every analyst is saying it
As soon as the 2024 draft is finished and new season starts with FA, Mavs can trade 2025 if they own a pick in the 2026 draft.
