Omahen, I think it was clear that KL was less making a claim than speaking rhetorically when he said WCS was 100% opting in, and I think that was clear to someone who wasn't being infantilely obtuse that he was offering to bet on WCS's return rather than the probability. You were stridently carping on his rhetoric instead of addressing his basic assertion with the bet invitation that it was more probable than not that WCS opts in. I suppose you could say that my own choice of words was to meet you on the level you were choosing to be at at the time.
Of course, I don't believe it's 100% that WCS opts in, but I think it's unfortunate for the Mavs if he doesn't. They need all the inexpensive players they can get, they need all of the athletic players they can get, and they need all of the rim protectors they can get. WCS is the type of project that the Mavs tend to cut bait on too quickly, and the work he is putting in should earn him some more opportunities. WCS opting in saves the Mavs from their own worst tendencies - to settle for players who are less physically talented, but boy, they sure do kow-tow to coach and are great citizens!!!11!1!1!11!!!
Best-case scenario is that he does opt out - with an agreement from the Mavs for the aforementioned one-year deal that will reduce his 2021 cap hold. But, my wager would be that if he opts out, he gone.
