1) this is reading to me like the Mavs don’t want to wait around for DJJ to be able to negotiate, not that they know he’s leaving.
2) but also, I bet they know this offer is lower than what he was going to want, and would’ve required a hard sell. In other words, they really are prioritizing giving Thompson too much money over bringing back their best defender.
I’m pretty bummed.
I do like Marshall, however. More offensively skilled than Jones, for sure. People who think they’re similar defensively…I don’t think so.
