So, Mr. Harrison, on a team that pays Gafford $13.4mm to back up Lively and Maxi $11mm to back up PJ and Green $12.6mm to back up my client...what do you think my client should make?

I actually don't disagree with you...just being funny.  But, I don't think $12.8mm is too far off.  I've liked the way FG frequently targets something in the $10-$11 range.  Slight hometown discount, but not so much that you disrespect him.

I definitely feel like “respect” is the right word and and way of thinking. This is part of why I have a feeling Green might be gone. I don’t think they can pay DJJ less than him and justify how the playoff minutes shook out. 

I also think it might be in the long term best interest of the Mavs and (in a way) Jones, himself, to keep him in a range where they have the option of moving HIM into a role similar to the one Green just played, hierarchy wise, without having to move him for pay structure reasons. They might actually find someone they like better in the near future.

It’s an interesting situation.
