I'm getting a huge contract and I'm still in demand. Further his biggest outright suitors are not going to be ideal situations from a winning standpoint (New York and Detroit).
Not saying he should sign somewhere else for less money. But the bigger the contract the Mavs give him, less of an asset will he be. I doubt anyone will believe in very high ceiling.
As for Detroit. They might very well soon become more relevant the Mavs, who seem to be going nowhere. Detroit will add a top four pick and has huge flexibility going forward.
NY is sort of like Dallas, but it is New York, attractive destination and all his links there. And he would be the PG.
