The Mavs have ascertained that, when there's an 18/10/2 center with a sucky self-focused attitude, it's preferable to just keep him off their roster, because he won't really be usable, and even at minimum salary they'd have no desire to go down that road.
Yep. Those stats should easily have given him at least a $15 mill min contract with a lot of suitors. Yet no one wanted to take a flyer on him. He might be good in LA just because he might want to not tick off Bron, but as I said last year, this is a guy who has talent and a lot of teams have given him a chance and yet none ever wanted to commit long term with him. The only regret is losing a FRP for him but that’s a gamble I would have taken anyday.
