It's $30m for the next two years either way but one has a $15m payment next season and the other has $8m.

Which would you choose?

Based on his recent play, I would be absolutely stunned if the Mavs gave Ellis a three-year "max" contract (max meaning $15M or whatever... not a true max). He just hasn't been good, at all, for like three months.
