We're fucked because of KP's max deal and Donnie being useless for so long. That's it. Nico split that KP deal into two, but we're still saddled with that ridiculous salary with Luka's max deal kicking in too.
If we weren't in cap/tax hell, it would be another story, but let's not be disingenuous with our reporting. It's not Cuban balking over spending 5 million.

I still think you need to make a credible offer. It's likely that JB bolts for NY anyway, but frankly the offer made by the Mavs compared to what was being offered by the Knicks is weak. As it turns out this was an easy decision for JB to make. More money, a chance to be the man running the show, near family and friends. It's a no-brainer. I would have liked to have seen Cuban at least make it a competition.
