KP trade- it was all TOR leading up to the TDL, and even then that was that morning. Then boom 10 mins left we get a deal out of nowhere with WAS who NO one even hinted was a possibility.
Wood- Again everyone knew we wanted a big man, and we speculated the options, but seriously not a single rumor about Wood to the Mavs. And again it came out of nowhere.
Hardy-Some posturing about "if there's someone we like we'll make a move", but no one brought up Hardy as someone the Mavs were targeting.
So you have a point. There may be something coming, and it may be something we aren't expecting at all.
Yeah, there isn't going to be a heads up for us on any trades with Nico unless the opposing team leaks something. But I think his style as a GM won't even let an opposing GM know he is really interested until he says "yes." I think he is always going to play it low-key and chill and it is going to seem like they are standing pat (that is his style we should get used to) and then suddenly there will be a trade.
