There have been many 3 point specialists who hung aroung at the end of their careers in spite of a lack of defensive skill. Peja for one, Steve Kerr is another and I would argue at this point, Jet is more valuable than either.
Part of what has to happen under the new CBA is salaries must come down. If max guys keep getting 16 to 21 million, the Jets and Kidds of the NBA will simply have to make less. Jet will learn this if he becomes a free agent. Given the smaller offers he is likely to get, I expect him to retire a Mav and give his team a home town discount. The guy bleeds Mavs blue and I want to see his Jersey hanging up there next to Dirk's.
