The problem with Mbenga's contract is the Mavs had to use the LLE to sign him, and that is a two year max.

Last year the Mavs used part of the MLE on Stephanson, so they were able to structure a longer term, although not guaranteed deal. This year, they had to use the MLE on Daniels, so did not have it for MBenga.

If he keeps developing, he is going to easily get more than the MLE after two years. The Mavs will have a difficult time keeping him.
