To give the entire situation a positive spin. Lively's injury could also create a unique opportunity for a cheap extension. Prior to his injury I expected him to land in the ~30m range. That's obviously not the case right now.
Would be a risk and looking at the Mavs recent track record when it comes to rookie contract extensions (Brunson, Green) I don't trust them to make the right call. But who knows. New GM, new medical staff, hopefully a new coaching staff. Can only get better so I might as well hold on to the hope that whoever is in charge makes the right call.
