Problem with this logic is that the Mavs likely won't give up either for Washington.  

They certainly can ask for whatever they want, and PJ won't be traded.

In most negotiations, the most desperate party is willing to flex most on price.

Also in most negotiations, each party wishes to conceal their level of desperation.

How desperate is Dallas to acquire PJ?

How desperate is Charlotte to dispose of PJ?

Things that we outsiders can only speculate about.
