Even if one is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, $90mm over the next 2 years is pretty hard to ignore. I just don't think he's worth it.
On the plus side, he plays defense, would likely be cheap in terms of assets and plays well this season. I understand the concern about his behaviour, but Mavs also kind of need a "bad boy". They severly lack toughness. Did he actually had any problems in his career due to his off court activities? I know there was some bad image during his rehabilitation. But before?
