AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel, Hires Bud

JB wouldn't let MBT2.0 talk to them.  That was the only "letting" happening in the situation.  Painting this as the Mavericks decision is laughable.

I'm confused. Most everyone ridiculed Cuban saying they never had a chance to offer JB, claiming Cuban REFUSED to go higher than a certain number. 

So which is it? 

1) Cuban refused to offer higher than $20-22M (the number Skin reported) and thereby "let him go" when he found a higher number.

OR

2) Cuban would have paid $30M per year but JB wasn't interested in more money and thereby the Mavs did NOT "let him go."

You really think it was number 2??
