No yeah there were in a bad place. Nothing they could do. Jordan goes back on his word, so the Mavs had to show they were above that, and give Wes what was initially discussed, pre jordan consideration. At least the dude is a fighter...
Imagine we give Monta another contract 2 offseasons ago, knowing what we know now. Parsons isnt the future and he's going to walk (heh) from Dallas because of what Dallas learned about his knees. So many different ways the last few years have gone.
