Dallas would have to include Johnson which would have a substantially higher cost. Would you be ok paying 4 SRP for a possible Fournier rental? It was reported Mavs offered Johnson + 2 SRP for Fournier. Boston offer was obviously better
Yeah, someone pointed out in the other thread that the price Boston paid was essentially two 2nd's and $17 million. That's a TON of money to eat just for a Fournier rental, imo.
I know it's not fun to think of spending other people's money as an obstacle, but that's 100% how these dudes operate. Mark Cuban's days of lighting $17 million on fire seem to be behind us. I can't blame him, personally. As long as he is actually trying to make the team great through reasonable means, I'm ok with him not losing $100 million over the next 10 years the way he did over his first 10 years. It's not like I'm willing or able to pony up the extra cash.
