I have no problem locking McGee in a closet until his contract runs out, if I have to do that to keep the pick. It's not like Cuban is needing the spending room for a different player of value. And about your willingness to give up a 1st round pick (an unprotected one after Luka's contract expires!) and some 2nds to get off of McGee's deal a couple years early - goodness.
They took on a questionable $24mm commitment for a late first rounder. So obviously they won’t pay an unprotected 1 to dump 12. You’re safe. Straw men ain’t gonna get you.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
