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

[StepBackJay]

I think the NBA subsidizes vet min contracts so as to even the playing field for older players. So even though JJBs contract is over 2 mil I think the cost to the Mavs might be more like 1 mil? You can correct me if I am wrong but I recall something like that.

So if JJB is released he will get the money but Cubes isn't paying the full amount so it's kind of a sweet deal. I do think it's like a thank you for years of service.

Possibly a basketball component to it as well. He gets to be there for training camp and prove he’s in basketball shape. Then when Jan/Feb comes around and we make a trade he will take a roster spot we create

Right hadn't thought of him getting released and resigned later.
