MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

I’ll note that Jones signed a straight one year…different than others who did the 1+1 (TO).  So, he’s purely betting on himself.  When is the last time we saw someone do that in Dallas.  He’s 26 and gets solid backup minutes wherever he goes.  At the minimum, our money isn’t any more than anyone else’s.  Is the opportunity better here?  Probably not if the roster is set.  It’s not every day that Dallas gets value contracts on guys like this without a clear path to minutes.  Yet, we did.  That gives me a little bit of hope

Lots of great points in your post, but the one above stood out to me. Really good sign, I agree. I also think similar points could be made about Curry and Exum (depending on how much interest in him there was).

I also think that between DJJ and Curry, there’s a chance O-Max and Hardy don’t get nearly as much burn as people are expecting, and that this will cause some negativity among the fan base.

I hope they’re both ready, but ultimately we have to trust the pros who evaluate them constantly.
