JRich opting in is an interesting scenario. One thing I really hated about Carlisle is how he managed players minutes. Some guys just aren't going to do well without a predictable routine and Carlisle was the epitome of erratic.
If I were Dallas, I wouldn't give him the max. It is just too risky and the team is too asset poor to course correct. If I were say Orlando? Sure, why not?

If he doesn't develop an outside shot, is this just another Wright/JRich swing with better force both defensively and at the rim? If you do go the offer sheet route, you've bet your entire summer on this one thing. What is Plan B if LA matches? You are dealing with Rich Paul here. Why would he help the Mav's to the detriment of the King? I'm still with Cow conceptually, but if I'm doing this, I want it to be a trade as soon as free agency opens. But, therein lies another issue. If this is a trade, then it opens the door to 28 other teams, some of whom can come up with a better packages. I see the upside and the fit on the court. Making this work as a transaction is more problematic.
