Don't really know why Jordan wouldn't pick Dallas if he was being truthful about what he wanted. He wants to be the main guy (which Dallas can offer with Dirk on his last legs and Parsons not talented enough for such a role), and money is not an issue (Dallas will offer him max money now and max money when he opts out if he stays healthy).
If the worst plays out and he balks then the Mavs find themselves in a rough situation. Best play would probably be to admit defeat and play for the lottery. What would hurt the most in such a situation would be the betrayal of Dirk, who signed such a team friendly contract with the hope of being competitive. Having that dashed in less than a year would be difficult to watch although I am sure the big fella would put a brave face on.
Enough with the negativity though. Come on Deandre, I want to enjoy watching the NBA next season!
