I think Cuban could mess the situation up and i wouldn't totally blame him if he had a number in mind that he isn't willing to go over. My hope is Nico has a big enough voice and that they realize that the situation kind of has the team over a barrel with their CAP and asset situation. Jalen, even overpaid, is a guy you can include in trying to get your upgraded second star and almost any receiving team would be happy to have in return.
Yes, like I said above that Jalen's relationships and friendships right now are the only thing I really see going in DAL's favor here (or "loyalty" as you put it). It will be interesting to see it play out.
And I also agree JB isn't worth more than $20-25M a year, but you absolutely go above that UNLESS you can get a significant return from NYK (two 1sts, etc) in a sign and trade.
