Trade & FA 2024-25:

Agreed, but I'm concerned that some are pointing out it's not a legal contract for a sign-and-trade.

Apparently, the third year CAN'T be an option. That's no big thing, because it's a player option, anyway, so they might as well just take the option away because he was 100% going to exercise it, but...

...is there a chance Dallas doesn't understand what's legal and what's not? 

Value wise, I'm happy with the three year deal.

I'm sure the Mavs brass has the legalities figured.  I suspect the error is in translation from agents to NBA talking heads.  I'm still hoping the deal is 3 years with a 4th year team option.  That could give us an asset on the back end as well.
