This is 100% conjecture and has zero evidence other than that radical Mavs pessimism.
I also don't know where in the heavens you got the idea that we're abusing Noel. His agent is playing hardball because he promised Noel big (perhaps max) money that simply wasn't there. It's a business.
Sheesh. If offering guys less than they thought they deserved was abusing players then every single team in the league would be huge violators. Did we abuse Curry by offering him only 3yrs/9mill when he felt like he was worth more? No one was offering more so it was a fair deal. He obviously wants to show that he can do more and get paid more later, but I think he was thankful for his contract.
Don't take Noel's desperate agent as gospel. Just because an agent speaks poorly of a team doesn't mean that the team is abusing a player.
