Dirk took that team to 2 NBA finals and won one. He also already took a paycut with his last contract in order to bring in more talent and compete. Cuban isn't stupid, he knows damn well the Mavs have to start a full rebuild. He could have just hit Dirk off with a monster payday to make up for the money he left on the table last time. Give Dirk a farewell tour and start tanking.
I'm responding to people in here saying that dirk should go elsewhere and get his bag, other GMs aren't gonna pay dirk "thank you" money for what he did in another city.
theres only a few other NBA teams that hes a legit starter on, at this point.
and the mavs been started rebuilding breh. and theyve done a pretty good job so far. they just didn't go in all-out tank mode.
besides, I'm sure Cuban is looking out for dirk.
