I have stopped fighting every single proposed trade but I will stick to my own evaluations when it comes to my proposals.
Not about sticking it to the Mavs. Just them knowing that they control the Mavs ability to offer two first round picks prior to the deadline. Knicks know that with Kyrie and Luka the Mavs are unlikely to end up in the top 10. Not enough games left to drop.
The Nets actually wanted 2 first round picks when it started so I think the Mavs could have done worse. At least they didn't give in on that.
