With every signing, JB’s contract looks more like a value. He’s a good player. The Mavs tried to downplay his value, trade him, and then give him a lowball offer, even after proclaiming they’re confident of signing him because they can pay the most. All bluster. The Mavs don’t have what it takes to win high stakes free agency. Winning there requires straight out aggression and force. You come at your player big out of the gate. There’s no room for finesse. The Mavs are just a passive, take what the market gives them organization, more like scavengers than hunters.
