The coach AND general manager BOTH went to bat for Steve Nash back in the day. Did it matter?
Agreed. And maybe Dallas agreed to come up on there number and match the Knicks numbers but were told it wouldn't matter.

Valid too. Luka is the only untouchable and based on the Mavs history, no one should feel safe.
