    Whoa?! Stone **** Up! There was nobody competing with us except Dallas and they only had the MLE for 12.3 million. Everyone was the going rate was 15 to 17 million…for three years? We gave him 4 years? What about Cam? 20 million? 17 million was the max…what are we doing

    You gotta pay your new head honcho premium money if you want him to pass up on those lucrative offers in China or Puerto Rico.

    Getting defensive guards and a vet Pg to run the 2nd unit. I think these guys help develop the defense identity we desperately need. 3 years from now then young guys take over.

    Stone should've laughed in the agent's face and how the **** do you not negotiate something better for a guy who had maybe 1 or 2 other suitors?

    I don’t get how we do a nice team option adder for FVV and only a single guaranteed year for Landale, but 4 for Dillon Brooks?

    Descending in value has me worried about how much he eats up this year. It’s clearly not even $20M per anymore either, but even worse up front.

    We couldn't budge on 2yr/$48MM for Brook Lopez but we went all the way up to $80MM for Dillon Brooks.

    Seems like we could have made the same cap cutting moves and paid Brook Lopez 3yr/90MM or something.

    Talk bad about Brooks if you want but if this team had his confidence they would be better off.

    There were better options at half the price for what you get out of this guy.

    Paid way too much...Stone's first FA with cap space shows how bad of a GM is.

    The Mavs could barely afford a 12 million offer. How do we end up paying him 20 for 4 years.

    Why are we helping out Memphis getting rid of Brooks and giving them a trade exception?

    Damn, is that true? Does anyone know the dollar amounts each year?
