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

[DanSchwartzgan]

What the hell are Mavs doing here, is just beyond me. Looks like psychological games, perhaps with the goal to put a chip on Greens shoulder. But in my experience, these kind of things very often backfire. 

Either commit to Green or trade him...

They are jacking with him to get his agent to agree to their terms.  We'll see if this crap ends when either Green signs or the deadline passes.  I've observed Dallas doing this before (making PT decisions designed to hold down player value in the marketplace).  It is a stupid approach (especially with a player whose confidence is thought to be a critical component to his production).

Dallas needs him to come in at a certain number for their future plans and cap management.  That number won't be realistic after a year of Green as a full-time starter.  Of course, the other side of the coin is also true.  Green needs a year as a full-time starter to maximize his value in the marketplace.  That is the power they are wielding over him right now (or at least trying to).

Just do the damn deal Nico. We've seen how this ends with CAA clients.
