MBT is not choosing btwn JJB and Burke. They will be evaluating how much they can pay Burke bc other teams will be making him offers. It sounds like to hear JJB tell it he will need to go elsewhere to continue playing and I think I am good with that. He can coach for 20 years if he wants to but he might only have 1 or 2 more seasons where he can still play (if that).

Pal, you're a Mav for life. I'd consider putting your jersey in the rafters. You have a coaching position as soon as you want it. If you need to play some more first, we'll help you find a team if you want. And as soon as you're done, come on home and coach our guys up.
I feel the exact same way. He is my profile pic and one of my favorite players ever. That being said ya I am good with him playing elsewhere and maybe finding a home here later on (see JET as an example).
