He’s bounced around a lot and may be a little hesitant to wait a year. Maybe a long term contract starting at $17 million with max raises could get the job done? But yes, right now, it seems revenue and player salaries will be growing fast, so players as a general rule will probably benefit by waiting. I just hate for the Mavs to be in the same predicament they just found themselves in.
