We can assume they are not stupid and they have seen Klay play and know his stats. Still, they think he is a better fit at starter than DJJ. They asked for KCP, they asked for Grant,...
So, if DJJ is seen hopefuly (by Mavs) as a bench guy, how much are you really willing to pay? Wouldn't anything over 10 mil be a significant overpay for that role?
Idk...they paid Green more than that. I get that they're trying to fix that mistake as we speak, but I can see the 3rd forward (can play both positions) having a big enough role to warrant the MLE. I hope he's closer to $10 million, of course, but I wouldn't be mad at the full exception.
