The Dallas Mavericks aren't pursuing Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant or Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler on the trade market, according to NBA insider

Speaking after a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, Durant had a message on the loyalty double-standard in the NBA. "Players are held to a different standard of loyalty and commitment to a program but the organizations don't get held to that same standard from the outside," Durant said (via Duane Rankin of azcentral).
