There were a few teams with cap space. Mostly rebuilding teams but on a 1-2 year deal they could use him as a mentor. No random agent leaks or leaks to woj/shams suggesting another team would do X or Y. No attempts to force a S&T or he'll leave for less money and the Mavs are left with air, etc. Definitely not the absolute best deal he could have gotten.Was it reported that he got another deal? I don’t remember that. If your argument is that the money was out there for him to get more, sure it was, but when more money went to FVV, I’d argue the interest in paying him more than he got was not there. In other words, I don’t think it’s as off to say he took the most money offered than to say he took a team friendly deal.
