The one thing I could see is similar to other contracts (like Barnes) you spend something like 19, 18, 17 (3 for 54) so that his contract gets better over time. Mavs will have more cap space available this year so its not really an issue to give him a bigger first year number. What you don't want is a bloated contract you can't move later on.
