[DanSchwartzgan]

 
If you want to say I'm unrealistic, are you saying you think I am not properly perceiving the MAVS' approach or mindset? My thinking is that if the Mavs won't deal, there is no deal, so to me what matters is "what will the Mavs do a deal for." I am opining from that angle, as I perceive it to be.

I get the pushback that "other teams won't want to pay that much." Sure, they all would want a steal, right?  
 

This is going to end up being about semantics (as message board discussions often are).  I think it is clear there is disagreement with your perception of Market Value.  But, you are in essence saying there is no market unless Dallas agrees to a deal.  Thus, your perception of what they will accept defines market value.  That just feels circular.  

Its not like we have much else to talk about for the next 2 1/2 weeks.  I just don't want to have to have this same discussion over and over again.  So, just assume that I disagree with your certainty about where value is and adding in oversimplified words like "steal" and "worthless" to denigrate the positions others take doesn't change that for me.
