Ending up 3rd fiddle on a team makes that more difficult. Grant is who I was thinking of as well, except Collins is probably a level or two above Grant as a player if you align their ages. Winning isn't always the most important thing for these players and I don't really blame them. I'd want to maximize my generational wealth potential too If I were them.
Mavs would offer him a max deal so he would be a "max" player. We can argue all day whether he should be a max player but the team that signs him will sign him to a max deal so even if he's the "third" fiddle he is still a max RFA guy with potential to be a max UFA in the future.
