not how it works. teams take the best deals they can get. if the nets offer more than whatever the 2nd best deal is, the other team takes it. if any team is dealing a star it's not because they want to.
and just like lillard and kd, usually the star has a say in where they end up, and those were 2 extreme cases where the players werent even close to FA. someone like Mitchell who has a PO has a defacto no trade clause because it's unlikely anyone makes a big offer for him without him committing to extending.
nobody can predict when or if mitchell will hit the market, but if he does nets are the best positioned team since we know his top preference location wise is NY and knicks are going to probably max Brunson.
