Matthews did fall off though, he never came close to his POR form. Plus, MIL was a 60 win, championship caliber team before Matthews. He is also only making minimum money. This is not the same thing.
Mavs are paying $11M/yr of starting money to an eventual bench player with a limited skill set on a 7th-8th seed caliber team. Bad deals are how you stay stagnant.
