AND we will work to get you to your destination next season via trade, when the BYC no longer compromises to net us the full return on the salary.I like the idea, it’s a steep uphill battle to fight though and thinking Nico should “earn his money” in that way should not be in any expectations. The time to earn his money was before JB is given all the leverage. That time is come and gone. So many around here scoffed at the idea that this moment was all that possible and here we are.
Nico has to earn his money this summer.

And NY is giving him that opportunity. Deserving or not, NY is telling JB that he is going to be the team's corner stone. To be the face of the team. NY's offer is for JB to be what Luka is to the Mavs, what Morant is to Memphis, what Young is to the Hawks. A common theme is that these dudes are all young and all are lead guards. That thought could dawn upon JB. The idea of having your own team at a young age is just too appealing to pass up, specially if the money is the same. I'd even go as far as say, JB would take less for the Knicks. And with JB's competitiveness, he'd take it upon himself to get wins for NY as much as he humanly can.
I hope I'm wrong but, I think JB's gone.
Mavs better go for a sign-and-trade.
