If Lowry is result, I am fine. I accept that every bigger move Mavs will want to do, will be "overpaid".

-I know as much as you. See: nothing.
-Are the Mavs stupid? No, but recent history points towards them being wildly unsuccessful in the free agent market. Nico is a rookie and is on his first few weeks on the job. I'm not hopeful our fortunes are going to be turned around this quickly.
-It's not about being "overpaid". It's about investing your resources into the future and opportunity cost.
-You can't always take a step forward. You can use your available resources in other ways to try and gain future assets.
