If a team can figure out what this projection tells the Mavs, they then know how much the Mavs want their player in trade negotiations, right? It's at least a place to start figuring it out and with the amount of money that's involved in these transactions, it would behoove teams to know that information at all costs
In a general sense paying a player exactly his worth is a GOOD thing. A contract too small can be an issue with player contentment and with trade matching, underpaying a player by a lot is not really a good thing long term. A contract too big...well we know all about that.
Sure, we want the Mavs to get "team friendly" deals from time to time, but most importantly we want the Mavs paying player what they are actually worth IMO.
