There are different levels of "giving him away."
It started a month ago with hopefully we can get a good young player and a 1st for AD.
Then it was hopefully we can get a 1st OR a good young player. (where we are now)
Next injury it'll be please just give us some expiring salaries.
Eventually it'll be like the Porzingis deal where you have to take on a bad salary like Bertans just to get him off your roster.
The chances that AD has a healthy summer, shows up to camp in shape, plays 30-40 games healthy for the Mavs next year to re-establish his trade value are about 10%.
