Common sense: Luka is on his rookie deal. He's not part of the salary hierarchy game yet.
Salary does matter. And the Mavs wanted off of Barnes' salary and didn't want to use him in the role that he had developed. What a player thinks about their role is important. Barnes doesn't view himself as a 3&D player.
