In this market, could the Mavs hardball and try to do 5 yrs (4+1) $175 million?
It would pose 2 serious problems for Dallas going forward: Dallas would probably damage some Agent relations AND Ky would become a malcontent sooner rather than later.
BUT... it would help in the immediate process of staying under the 1st Apron, AND it would give Dallas a compromise to the 5th year IF Ky decides he would rather chance the PO year for a new contract.
Ultimately, this could be the punch that gets Dallas the number of years they want (2+1) at the salary Ky wants and Dallas has to figure out how to make it fit the 23-24 cap sheet.
