I know it's not fun to think of spending other people's money as an obstacle, but that's 100% how these dudes operate. Mark Cuban's days of lighting $17 million on fire seem to be behind us. I can't blame him, personally. As long as he is actually trying to make the team great through reasonable means, I'm ok with him not losing $100 million over the next 10 years the way he did over his first 10 years. It's not like I'm willing or able to pony up the extra cash.
Fish reported yesterday that Mavs did offer two seconds + JJ but Boston's deal was better (ie no salary bc of TPE)
