Mitchell Jordan by letting him walk in free agency for just the MLE. I know they had a hard time moving him last year

^ Knicks were offered Payton for Jordan straight up and turned it down

Other offers were brewing at the time and they all fell through.

Craig wrote:Dallas Mavericks
Key Additions: Ben Wallace, Mark Alarie, LaPhonso Ellis
Key Losses: Benoit Benjamin, Bison Dele, Milos Babic, Felton Spencer

This team has their superstar in Jim Jackson and Kevin Ollie looks like a star in the making, so the Mavs just need to get the role players right around them.
Grade: B
This has been the hardest part so far
Yep I struggled with this for about 5 years after I lost Ralph and Brogan in FA. I couldn’t find a good 2nd fiddle to MJ

Outside went from D+ to C-

Done

I believe this is Shaq's third upgrade which makes him ineligible for further upgrades

ignorance of the law is no excuse for violations of the law! but I suppose u didn't violate anything yet so there's that...I just feel like your attitude exuded nefarious vibes.
