We saw this same equation with Powell. There are very mixed feelings about his value on the roster. When they did the extension, many gagged and hated the idea of being stuck with him for even longer.
Right but Mavs are motivated to not accept that the trade was a failure and maybe generally think he's a good fitting piece, even if year 1 was a disappointment. He is at least a better fit than 9 mil/yr Wright was last year.
Maybe Mavs will go in a different direction, I could just see some deal happening.
