QO makes him play like it's a contract year. He has to play his ass off this year or he won't get paid much next year. If he gets injured, then we go after another center. If he plays well, then we can still offer him anything he wants. Only difference is that he's a UFA vs. an RFA. 4 million for a guy who is playing for his life sounds like a decent deal for me.

Plus I think he's going to really learn to like playing with Slanger. One year putting up 22ppg on easy lobs has got to get us some points with him.
He takes the QO and he's as good as gone. We're doing pipe dream again. He's not picking the Mavs as a UFA after how we treated him. Can't do this in NBA. Most leagues but not this one.
