That’s way too much for Javale

Yeah anything more than the minimum to me was too much. He didn’t provide much more than Biz, Frank, etc IMO

[Split T]

What? That seems a bit high

[Flagrant Fowl]

Because it is.

[specialsauce]

Wow

[Split T]

Ya I should have said a lot high

[INFORMER]

Solid move

[Flagrant Fowl]

Can Kevin Knox play basketball?

[Shabazz]

Good deal here.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Yeah, Slo-mo on MLE type money is good value.

[Drewsprocket]

I’m lost. Dallas won in the playoffs without a big and wrecking other team’s bigs. Now they’re adding a big? So are they anticipating next year to be different?

Next year Clippers and Nuggets will be better.

[Split T]

Maybe they got a deal lined up to move Powell?

Ehh.. I wouldn't go that far. They beat the dumpster fire Jazz and the collapsing volcano Suns. They were smoked by the Warriors.

Ignoring the noise around it, McGee is just a situational big and a great locker room vet. I'm pretty sure the Mavs know that as well even if it doesn't totally explain the contract they gave him.

Brunson took a little less with a player option year to go to NY.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I admire Mark Cuban's passion for winning, but he routinely gets bent over in free agency.

Wood + Javale. IDK sounds like they’re going in the wrong direction. Unless Wood gonna drain open 3s all game and defend in space on the perimeter. Anyway, i worry less about them with these moves.

I think I agree at least until we see how well they can replace Brunson's production.

[Flagrant Fowl]

A player option? Um..what?

[Cap]

A player option? Um..what?

This is a guy who has made over $100M over the past four seasons. If he’s going to sign for a $3.3M annual salary, he’s going to want an option.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Sure, but he's, like, not good enough to make $3.3M.

[Cap]

$3.3M isn’t much in NBA terms. For a player of his experience, it’s barely above minimum ($2.9M).
