I get it with Naji. I use him because his fit with Flagg isn’t the greatest and he’ll want to get paid more than his $9.4M. Does anyone want to give Naji 14M or so the next 3-4 years at ages 30-33 when his fit with Flagg is less than ideal?

I’m not saying it’s the only move I’d make, just something I’d have to consider. Getting off Martin’s deal is not nothing…

Getting off Martin's deal is not nothing, but I think for a team in the Mavs position (limited assets and a long timeline) the best option to handle bad contracts is to simply let them play out.  I agree with Naji being a good trade candidate, I would just rather get an asset or a better fitting part with him.
