It's really just up to Cuban right now. Mavs are the only team that can offer the fifth year, so they are in the driver's seat. We will see if Mark is a cheapskate or someone committed to building a championship team. This is actually a pretty interesting test to see his true colors. There seems to be no advantage from a salary cap point of view to not match any offer given to JB and add the fifth year. So, put up or shut up Mark. All that is on the line is your money.

He has to. Assuming Jalen wants to be here. It would be a REALLY bad look for one of Luka’s best buds and our 2nd best player to walk for nothing. Cuban may be an idiot but he’s not a fool. If Jalen walks for nothing it’s step one to Luka being out the door.
