I agree they will be happy to pay up for their title window. I don’t think this guy fits the bill for them, but I think his skill set and development timeline is perfect for the Mavs.
Imho, yes. They have no other choice, basically. They can't bring in a replacement. As long as the offer doesn't get totally unreasonable (more like 20 per), they are matching it.
