When I heard the Terry news, the first thing I thought of was a weird response he had in his media day interview with Locked On Mavericks.
Q: What would you consider a successful season for you and the Mavs collectively?
A: I think for me personally I'm just being the best version of myself. You know I have some time here left with the Mavs, and so by the time my contract's up and it's time to either renew it or move on I want to be the best version of myself for the Mavericks to make that decision....
As a reminder, his contract is guaranteed for the next 2 years. So responding to that question by thinking of life after Dallas is IMO pretty unusual. I just get the impression that there's something going on behind the scenes and his head really isn't with the team.
