I’m sort of getting into the idea of, if we’re willing to pay Lowry $30M for 3 years, I’d rather pay Ball whatever it takes to bring him here up a max contract. Wasn’t Kidd supposed to be Ball’s comp coming out of the draft? Who better than Kidd himself to unlock that potential? What’s better than 1 (25ppg) triple double machine? TWO triple double machines (15ppg)!!!

How much cap room do the Knicks and Bulls have? How much would we have to have to beat them out for Ball? My take has always been that their price is $20M per and ours is $25M per since he wants to play for them more than he'd want to play for us. Of course cow's take is that Ball won't come here b/c career earnings. Many here think "overpaying" Ball is a waste or imprudent. I'm okay with Lowry because he is allegedly the Mavs' target and I'd rather they get their target than be bridesmaids yet again. But I would be far happier with "overpaid" Ball than overpaid Lowry.
