Yes, it does make a lot of sense to throw max or near max at a guy who is barely able to give you 25 minute a night is justified... It is also justified to pay him that money when no other team will even contact his agent to discuss possible contract. Thirdly, it is justified to pay for hopes and potential and end up with Chandler Parsons of Memphis Grizzlies.
Mavs FO was unwilling to even contact Parsons after his contract was up last summer. This decision had a lot to do with his hobby of getting injuries. If Mavs are unwilling to throw money at Noel, they may have a reason other than to drive the price down.
