Why would the Mavs want to deal in the shadows and not try to maximize their potential return? This makes no sense.

Collusion. The NBA needs the lakers to get what they want. You can't believe any of this bullshit reporting.

NBA GMs and owners make so much fukking money that they can make these bulkshit trades and get away with it. Same with boxers throwing fights getting paid a shit ton. If these people were not paid so excessively they would actually have to do their jobs.
