Rumor has it that Detroit wanted him badly, and he probably wouldn't have been around for much longer.
Also, every time I experience one of these free agency periods I become more and more aware that the teams are negotiating with ALL their targets simultaneously. So, the order of how the deals are announced can be misleading. Maybe there were 5-6 scenarios they wanted that didn't include THJ, but that they were all "no's." I get that they announced this one like right after the bell, but it's pretty clear that the Mavs did more overt tampering than usual. I think most of us welcome that change.
