Next summer's MLE for 3 years with max raises totals $41.96M. (That's using NBA projection of a 142M cap, which is only a 4.4% raise over this season.)
So this deal is for less than that expected MLE. Reasonable number, because imo he hasn't yet shown to be an MLE player. The thinking that his agents got bigger contracts for other players was never rational, because he is not them! It is reasonable because Mavs aren't paying wildly for "what-if" upside fantasies, while at the same time, if his ever-promised "upside" actually happens, he's only committed for 3 years, thereby getting rewarded IF he outplays his contract.
