With Stein saying that Dallas is the only serious bidder for Kyrie I think they still need to pay him. He is the kind of guy that would feel "disrespected" by anything less and I think it would cause a lot of behind the scenes mess that you don't want with him. Kyrie needs to be "happy". It's stupid but that's what you get when you tie your team to a guy like that.
You know that whatever 4 or 5 year deal he makes with them, he isn't going to play out that contract here. They have to make the deal tradeable within the new CBA. To me, the ideal is $30 mil a year (still too much, but they have no choice...). Anything more than $35 mil per is going to make us covet Beal's deal.
