It's questionable Mavs should up their offer if Kyrie threats to play on another team for a minimum. It looks like lose - lose situation for Dallas. They missed the playoffs while he was playing hard for contract and now shows he prefers being on another team.
Yeah I'm certainly no Kyrie guy but what's Dallas' alternative path if he walks? They kind of painted themselves into this corner. It's not like Luka is going to sit quietly through a rebuild.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

That guy is a veritable scumbag.

I did have a good laugh at this scumbag vs. scumbag action though. Actually sign up him and Dillon Brooks to get under the skin of Lebron as much as possible. LOL

I'd want to take a swing on Yurtseven for a 3rd string center!

So the Suns take the "interview" to put the Mavs in a position where they - pretty much overpay for Kyrie or see if Kyrie is willing to pay for the minimum.

Seeing the news about Cam Payne. No brainer. If they waived him and paid him $2m - where are they finding a better guard for $4.5m

Going all in on the EXPLOSIVE free agency market when all we have are minimum contracts. Trying to stretch that 15 minutes longer..he already made it to 20 or 25.

Trades, maybe.
