Yeah, sorry, I was looking at his latest Kings contract.
JB wouldn't have accepted 4/104 from the Mavs though. Maybe you could have money whipped him at north of 5/150 and he'd change the "money doesn't matter" mantra. Comparing other contracts doesn't mean a lot to me. I get the mindset but you can also justify Bertans contract by looking at other shooters and it wouldn't make me feel any better about his number. North of 20 for JB was high for me and the Mavs would have had to go north of 30 to even have a possibility of having him entertain the offer.
