They definitely aren't, even if Mavs offered Luka! Because they can't. He's not trade eligible until Jan 15., with new BYC deal and all.
But I find the underlying thesis (that Masai is going to trade for players he doesn't want, and clog his roster) to be fairly absurd in the first place. Teams will know what he paid. They won't want to pay him to be the middle man. And then, when he has multiple huge deals tying up his payroll, what will he do? I just don't buy it at all, and the source is obviously suspect already.
