I am trying to come up with a reason why, at the time he signed that deal, anyone would have thought that he was being taken advantage of... in any way.
DFS signed that contract after coming off a season where he played <25m scored 7.5pts, on 31% shooting from 3. He started 26 games. What do you guys think the going rate was for guys like that? Not much above league min, if that.
To compare, the Mavs just signed a guy with a similar profile to a min contract this offseason: Iwundu. He played 18min, scored 5.8 on 34% shooting from 3 with better analytics on defense. He started 21 games.
How exactly are the Mavs viewed poorly that he was developed into a better player - after they gave him his chance as an UDFA and given playing time? If anything, he is an example of why we should be a place where young players want to come to develop and be given a chance if they earn it. Maybe why Iwundu chose to come here, tbh.
