I don't think they will land him unless they are willing to package multiple picks (which I wouldn't). I'm also not fond of giving him a new $20M+ deal due to his injury history and concerns about sticking in the closing lineup. That's a contract you might end up regretting very quickly.I'm not convinced that's true. While he is obviously a talented player, you have to consider
1. His contract number vs. the declining value of centers in the league
2. He'll be a free agent next year
3. He may actually WANT to be in Dallas more than anywhere else, which ties in to 2
4. His health situation which you already mentioned
5. Many teams already have a starting center solution
All of these will combine to limit his market to a certain degree. Not saying they might not get better offers, just not convinced they will.
