I mean, if it's a TWO YEAR DEAL (not a 1+1 that he can opt out of if his rehab is going well) at the MINIMUM, you have to do it, but I think some desperate team is going to do better than that, and the Mavs literally can't. They'd have to dump a player (easier said than done) just to offer him a minimum, and we already think they need to do that in order to sign Exum to help THIS season.
What are the stretch provision specific rules for these next two seasons - is anything he earns additive to the big Bucks (pun intended) he‘ll get from Milwaukee or does it just lower the bill of the Bucks and Lillard gets the same money no matter if he signs a minimum deal or a bigger contract?
