Can you walk me through the logic?
Players talk. We've heard grumblings from players throughout the years about racial undertones of who the Mavericks organization was willing to take care of and who they weren't. I think some of that is a bit misguided, but when your loyalty is tied to only Dirk (now Luka), that can easily be misconstrued. Tyson was the second most important Mav on that championship team in my eyes and rather than reward him, MBT thought they were smarter than everyone else and could "upgrade" him through big game hunting. Hindsight and all, but we'd have been better team for those post championship teams had we just paid the man. Dallas is never going to be a huge free agent destination.
