Huh? That makes no sense. $5 million means a hell of a lot to the player. My question is, what difference does it make to the franchise? More to the point, what difference does it make to a FAN saying the most they would offer if they were in charge is $25M a year. (And in case it wasn't clear, I meant $5 million a year, not $5 million total)
Is $30 million a year really so much more egregious an overpay and so much more crippling to the franchise than $25 million? Spoiler alert- it's not. It IS however a bigger strain on Mark Cuban's pocketbook, which is increasingly what this seems to be about.
And if it really isn't about money, as you suggest, and he's going to the Knicks no matter what the Mavs offer, then fuck it, offer him the full max and make the Knicks pay even more. No sense in letting them off easy.
