MAVS NEWS:

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

I said before FAgency, that he was going to test the market for more cash, after a career year. They all do.  No hometown discounts here. That bag he was chasing was ultimately the same deal Marshall got to come to Dallas.  In hindsight, he was just chasing his tail...

IMO, the front office would rather Naji.  Even though a deal couldn't be signed during those few weeks, they could have come to an agreement with DJJ.  I look at it as the Mavs chose Naji.  I'm in agreement with that.
