I think the Mavs wanted three things in the JR trade:
1) An expiring contract to have cap room for this summer.
2) The asset of #36 and what became TBey.
3) A chance to see if JR could have the impact he had in his last year in MIA.
I think his last year in MIA has been shown to be an outlier. I think Spoelstra (one of the very best coaches in the league IMO) was able to get more out of JR than RC was. I also think that JR just massively overperformed that year and he is just regressing to the mean.
