2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

Update on the list. 

All those saying how rich 2021 FA class will be should be ashamed of themselves...

---

Totally expected. Why jump into a deal now? Both sides get to see how it will go and then have better grounds to negotiate. I am sure Mavs will have no problem showing the money if JRich performs as expected. 

If he doesn't want to be here, we have no control whatsoever.

White gone now also.

JRich can only get a 20% raise on the extension.  So, deal starting at $13.9mm.  If he bets on himself and loses he just takes the $11.6mm he’s guaranteed next year.  But, if he bets on himself and wins, the benefit could be pretty big for him.

BTW, this doesn’t preclude an in-season extension.  Richardson would would simply opt out of next season (which was the presumption anyway).  Today’s deadline was for players with more than this season remaining.
