He has had issues with being late and showing up to practice. Reports from the mavs are that he has not been late all summer for anything
Either he wants to win or he wants the bag. That will be the true test. He must accept the max extension. It could even have a 2nd year player option so he could get out after one year if it’s too bad of a deal. We will not pay the tax next year so there’s no other way
In sports...Im all about playing your best players when it matters. The head games in sports are a little unnecessary to me.
He most likely isnt going to act up before his big bag...but you could probably find out about his laziness without playing weird mind games with him. And...whos to say that doesnt make him go sour on the Mavs if he feels like there is way more going on than just basketball? It would seem that pas coaches and teammates would be able to tell you exactly how this guy is mentally....is he lazy, is he only into bball for a paycheck or does he love it, does he have attitude issues or hard to get along with? Showing up late to practice has got to be frustrating...but how late and how often? Seems like you give a guy as talented as him star treatment on late to practice depending on how often and how late.
