Hi Marc Stein. You’ve argued in the past that the Cs shouldn’t break up the Js. Does this playoff ending and the looming supermax for both paired with the new CBA change your assessment? 618 mil over 5 years to two players is quite a bit.

I'm wrestling with it. I lean toward sign them both and then explore trades later if necessary. It's just so hard in today's NBA to give up on a two-way wing. Especially very good ones.

Hey, Stein. you told me a year ago to remind you to ask if people prefer the current Finals 2-2-1-1-1 format or the classic 2-3-2.

Glad you remember because I most definitely don't. Will figure out a good place to reintroduce the topic for discussion.

Completely irrelevant to the story, but I thought you might have some insight... Do you think the Nets would trade Dorian back for the Mavs #10 pick? Would Dallas do this? Would that not be enough to bring him back?

Don't see either side wanting it and even less so your Mavs. They hope to get more if they trade No. 10.

And I know that some other players would probably need to be included for $$ to work
