Jim reportedly opted in for $5, by comparison

Dirk carried this team ever since, took a huge paycut over the last two years, so he definitely deserves this

whats the difference between dirk loyalty contract 2/40, compared to cripples 2/48.5 ....chance of playoff vs spending 48.5m to buy lottery tickets

Dirk's salary takes up about 20% of the cap, kirby's took up 38% when he signed it It's the equivalent of a 14M salary under last years cap (or 12,5M the year before - when cripples signed his). Not to mention he has already left a lot of money on the table on his previous deal and most importantly that he's still a player that helps you win games, not a franchise killing cancer

Pay the man

I have no issue with Dirk getting his back pay ...if he cannot ring might as well get paid.

Paycut for Parsons...man he deserves a lot more tbh

Glad he didn't take a pay cut to lose again

[Spurtacular]

Mavs ain't contenders; might as well pay the face.
