Put yourself in LM shoes.
1. There's no way I'm signing a 3/$36 deal with Dallas that fits into their TPE. I like Dallas but that's way less than what I think I'm worth going forward.
2. San Antonio and New Orleans are offering 3/$45. That's better but man I really dont want to live in either of those cities. If I'm going to either of those places, I want more money.
3. I'd much rather play for the qualifying offer and hit free agency again next summer. But I hate the Bulls organization and they have Vucevic and Patrick Williams. So it wont help my numbers going into free agency next year.
4. Calls up agent. Can you try to get me a 3/$45-48 contract and get me to the Mavericks?
5. The Bulls are asking for Kleber + DFS or Kleber + Josh Green + 1st round pick. No way Mavs are going to pay that much.
6. Shit...what do we do?
