This is the thing. A max contract, even a max rookie extension, gets majorly in the way if it's not attached to a real difference maker. An all-star, basically. You can take risks with trades for guys on rookie contracts, guys near the end of their deals, cheap reclamation projects, etc. The Mavs have always been good at doing that, imo. But if/when you give out these big money 4-5 year contracts, they need to go to solutions, not problems.
