Nah he wasn't completely out of options. It was about as drama free a FA as you could get. Salary is on the low end of what everyone was expecting. There were a few teams with cap space. Mostly rebuilding teams but on a 1-2 year deal they could use him as a mentor. No random agent leaks or leaks to woj/shams suggesting another team would do X or Y. No attempts to force a S&T or he'll leave for less money and the Mavs are left with air, etc. Definitely not the absolute best deal he could have gotten.
