It seems like most of the teams looking to trade are looking for firsts. Even for guys who are nothing more than solid rotation pieces. We will see if the asking price comes down. With a weak draft, some teams may be willing to forfeit a first round draft pick this year. But there are not a lot of teams flush with mulitple picks. If the trading teams do not lower their demands, it may help the Mavs. Maybe not this deadline because Dallas doesn't have expirings, but maybe this offseason where we will have guys entering expiring plus 3 picks. Something like a first and Holmes for Deni and two firsts, asset, Hardaway and stuff for Grant. Getting two players for those three picks instead of one.
