If he goes and plays in Spain and wants to re-enter the NBA he´s still blocked by the Mavs. By agreeing to the 2-way contract in December, he becomes a RFA in August and can actually pick his next NBA team, unless the Mavs match the offer. So if the Mavs came to Bey and said listen we need an extra roster spot, would you be willing to sign as a 2-way contract, rather than a full four years (like Terry), then there is an incentive for Bey to do so.
Just because you hate the way the MBT/RC operate does not mean that a second round pick is going to try and force his way out from the moment he gets the phone call just cause it’s the Mavs.
You know who Tyler Bey, and really any other 2nd round pick wants to play for? Whoever will give them a contract cause they are pretty much just trying to find a place in the league. Bey will sign a contract with whoever will give him one with the most money/years once free agency starts. And if that team isn’t the Mavs, it’s not because he was scheming to get out from day 1, it’s because he needs a job.
Wouldn’t it be great if in a few years we are talking about how we hope some team doesn’t steal Bey away from us because he’s amazing and will have tons of options? It would, but that’s not the situation right now.
