There’s probably not enough money out there this summer for THJ to opt out for a large payday. If he opts out my guess is there’s either a number he and the Mavs have discussed, or there’s the making of a S&T in place.
I think THJ can provide excellent value with his current play on a Dwight Powell sized contract, and even up to $15 million a year probably would not hamper the ability to keep building the team up to contender status.
Problem is unless he just loves playing in Dallas, not sure how we get him on that contract. He doesn’t have much incentive to opt out for a few million payout this summer, and next summer there may be a lot more cap room amongst teams to get him a payday.
