FA: Kemba Walker to DAL | his knee is "not good"

[SleepingHero]

40+ million in sunk costs.  Two of those contracts were happily signed by the Mavs.  You bench those guys and it's probably a better product on the court but how much damage do you do with future negotiations when you already have one hell of a time getting free agents to come here in the first place.  Both THJ and McGee are here for two more years after this one.

Just speaking to how benching THJ/McGee would affect future free agents:

These guys haven't performed. I don't see how this would affect future negotiations. If anything it'd only embolden vets to make their way to Dallas because they'd be rewarded handsomely should they only play 1 good season. 

Would we be complaining at all if THJ was hitting 40% on threes? I don't think so. The players are accountable to play well, that's why they get paid. I wouldn't venture to believe that other FA's are crossing Dallas off the list because they're benching 2 overpaid role players that had all their talent sucked out by the Monstars.
