The Dallas Mavericks have made a mess of the early stages of this offseason. The Mavericks allowed Jalen Brunson to leave without making a competitive offer to retain his services. While the Mavericks would have you believe that money was not a factor in that decision, their offer was not financially competitive. The Mavericks then made the curious decision to give Javale McGee the second largest contract of his career despite his advanced age (34).
McGee signed a four year, $44 million contract with the Denver Nuggets in 2012 after completing his rookie deal.
