Note the parts about Shinn not paying market value to retain his own players, and the part about being unwilling to put up $13MM for a new arena. While I still think it's wishful thinking that the Mavs could get Paul, I do give it more than a snowball's chance in hell given who the Hornets' owner is. He makes Sterling look like a lavish spender.
