Because it is a player driven league and AD can be expiring next season as he has a player option afterwards. So, if he says he wants to be in Dallas, other teams might be reluctant to jump in for a one year rental. I am more sceptical LA would have any interest whatsoever in the package Mavs can offer. They are in win now mode as long as they have LeBron and that package doesn't help with that at all. I think another team would need to be involved with a piece that would be interestening for Lakers and the picks going to that team.
I think main task during the all star week for Luka and especially Kai is to convince another player he wants to be in Dallas and in Dallas only next season.
