I think the differences between the two are miniscule enough that I'm glad the Mavs saved an extra year and 16 mil to retain a guy we know is a solid fit next to Luka.
I gave THJ a lot of flack earlier in the year and wasn't a believer. I was skeptical he could continue his newfound efficient shooting. He was the only one of our role players that really stepped up in the playoffs and I think the Mavs got him on a solid deal.
I don't think any one of those teams listed by Jommybone had a better summer than the Mavs.
(For the record I would've liked Powell here in addition to THJ. Same with Lowry, Ball, and Conley).
