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

[KillerLeft]

I'm more concerned about the trade cost.  (Ainge)

Whether you pay him 4/88 or 4/110 doesnt really matter all that much big picture.  It still takes you out of major cap space.  It's like the KP contract.  We'd rather have gotten a better value and protections against injury but if you decide he's the guy, you go ahead and pay.

Totally agree. 

If the Mavs' honest evaluation is that he's the guy, I trust them. If they like him, but only at a certain price, I trust them. If they don't think he'll ever be healthy and aren't interested, I trust them. 

But, if recent events prompt them to bump him up from one of those views to another, that's trouble, imo.
