I think as the pick was approaching, they decided to pick either Bane or Terry, whichever was there. There has to be a reason Memphis traded into the pick right before them, so it's not crazy to imagine they had reason to believe the Mavs would draft him.
In hindsight, maybe they should've been singularly focused on Bane there and taken measures to prevent Memphis from getting him.
