DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[omahen]

I must've forgotten that part, sorry. I didn't omit it on purpose. 

Which family member, do you know? I don't mean to be insensitive, but what I'm talking about isn't "the preparation time" which was basically a shortened training camp. I'm saying I don't think he did a damn thing the ENTIRE time they were shut down. 

I lost my mother a few years back. It was unexpected, because she was way too young to go. That was pretty hard to deal with, and I could see something like that, mixed with the pandemic, being tough to get through. But if we're just talking about missing the bubble camp to attend the funeral of an Aunt or Uncle, idk. 

I hope I articulated that in a sensitive way.

It was a grandmother he was very close with and he missed serious time, not just a few days to attend a funeral. 

Regarding him signing, my opinion is, I wouldn't do it for 15 mil per. I think he is too limited to be paid that kind of money. It is one thing to feast on bench units in regular season and another to be a number 3 or 4 guy on a contender. I don't think he is worth that money and I am affraid his contract would be a negative. Not to mention we already have Powell negative contract in his exact spot. 

Now, if he would come here for MLE, or perhaps a bit more in the range of Powell contract, I would be ok. We would get rid of Wright in the process and basically not lose much flexibility. Although to be honest, I am not sure how Clippers would see Wright as a positive rotation player. They need a much better PG imho.
