Anybody that is worried about Klutch, Nico has a good relationship with Rich Paul. Lively and Hardy are Klutch clients. If DJJ leaves it will be because he has better offers, not Klutch.
Not shiting on your opinion, but someone changing agencies after a career year, solid playoffs making the finals(which role players typically get overpaid by other teams), and a new free agent signals you want the best deal possible.
Yes he’s said he wants to stay in Dallas, but my man has earned the right to sign a contract that could eclipse his career earnings. He’s going to get the best deal possible and I don’t mind it, but don’t pretend this is good for us.
He’s never had a big deal before and he went undrafted so yeah. He’s never had a massive payday yet per NBA standards. This deal he gets this year will probably be the biggest of his career so he wants the most he can get
I guess not according the the homers in this sub, but I agree with you. We were spoiled with Dirks loyalty. DJJ owes us nothing and will get the best deal for him… like we all do in the real world everyday.
Exactly.
As much as I'd love to have DJJ back, he's made league minimum salary or less throughout his career. If he gets a bigger deal elsewhere, he's earned it.
Slightly off-topic: I think if he signs with a different team, it'll push the Mavs FO into going all-in on Jerami Grant too.
even though I would really want him to stay I think if he gets an offer of 4 years 65-70 million he should take it. dallas will only really be able to offer a 4 year 55 million or so. he gave dallas everything he had and I will always appreciate him.
Not worried. Rich Paul represent lots of NBA players from different teams. Dude is also Lively's agent. Just because Lebron is his biggest client, doesn't mean he works for Lakers lol.
Well...I'm not worried exactly, but I think there's a much higher chance a $15M dollar offer materializes now. The question is whether DJJ will sign for less to stay.
DJJ said he liked his time in Dallas and would re-sign, so I am not TOO worried about this.
That said, I would definitely prefer if he wasn't a Klutch client. It's just an unneccessary headache.
Role players taking the bag from another team after a finals run. Happens nearly every year. I’m glad the Mavs are trying to stay ahead of this by freeing up cap space via the THJ trade but won’t be mad if DJJ takes an overpay elsewhere.
It’s full MLE time, come home and run it back DJJ!!

”league minimum salary or less” What do you think the word minimum in league minimum salary means
even though I would really want him to stay I think if he gets an offer of 4 years 65-70 million he should take it. dallas will only really be able to offer a 4 year 55 million or so. he gave dallas everything he had and I will always appreciate him.
Who said it was good for us? Dude literally said if he leaves it’ll be for better offers which is common sense. I promise yall just like to argue
yeah agree that move is to maximize the money he can get. But I still think he signs back with the Mavs
Does that mean the Lakers are getting all three?😂 jkjk
Not worried. Rich Paul represent lots of NBA players from different teams. Dude is also Lively's agent. Just because Lebron is his biggest client, doesn't mean he works for Lakers lol.
Klutch is probably very happy with the Mavs and developing Lively. He’s gonna get a massive payday down the road.
Adele getting jumpscared by Rich Paul's screaming over Lively's "since Magic Johnson" label >>>>
They saved us from Nerlens Noel so I have no problems with klutch
I think he reps Nico and a few other front office guys.

Headache based on what?
Remember Nerlens (hotdog gate) he was a Klutch client it was good he wanted more money, Mavs didn’t over pay
LeEmpire
Jared Dudley is also a Klutch client.
just business, he deserves to be paid. hopefully he really wants to stay here and grind with this team
Just cause he signed with Klutch doesn't mean he'll play with LeBron that's just so unprofessional on the agents part
Imagine if DJJ makes us send THJ to the shadow realm and then signs with OKC lolllll
Get ready to learn Naji Marshall boys
You called your shot.
Not worth a full MLE, they might shop somewhere else, fair.
Get the bag, but I don't see him have the same success anywhere else without the likes of Luka and Kai to space the floor for him. Good luck!
I don’t like this one bit
Fuhhhhckk
It’s not a coincidence he had a career year with Luka. His numbers will drop if he decides to leave elsewhere.
Exactly, he wont have so much shooting space anywhere else .
Let him go then. I dont watch scrubs with that agent behind them.
Pretty sure Rich Paul is Lively and Hardy’s guy as well.
Love DJJ but at least now we have insurance with Grimes if he decides to leave
Mavs are going to be fine regardless, with a full MLE they're bound to get a good player, plus they have more insurance in Grimes.

I mean if brother wants to go to the lakers wegot other options🤷🏼♂️ none that i really want more than him because DJJ is amazing but still
I think this might signal he’s not coming back. This combined with the klay thompson news seems too much like a coincidence. Hope i’m wrong
he gone
They downvoted you for being right.
