Well that would be good for the Mavs if there is no deadline, I know Buckner and Stackhouse's had a deadline etched into their contract, same with Gooden. Kind of surprising that Damps does not have some type of deadline in there, sort of does the player a favor by giving him enough time on the open market to find another job.

Stack and Buckner's deals didn't have conditions that could force their last year to be fully guaranteed, either. Even if he does have a day that forces the decision (although I trust DLord on this) I would expect it to be much later than early July.
