Indeed.
Mavs didn't need to lie -- they just needed to be better salesmen in presenting the opportunity. Terrible negotiating skills.
'We KNOW there's a huge need for another guy to be our 3rd playmaker to complement Luka and SD, because we lost JB. That left a huge hole, and no one else on the roster who can do those things. We badly need a player with your skills, who can fill a lot of minutes supporting both of them and play a key role for us. Please come play on our team with Luka, and help us win a title.'
