This is generally correct. However, as was alluded to above, Cuban was concerned about Nash’s back. For those of us who were around then, Nash had a lot of problems with his back in those early years with Dallas. Cuban wasn’t confident that he would make it the duration of the contract and was hesitant to overpay for him.
