Didn't realize they couldn't offer max money. I feel like if that's the case we could still offer closer to $30M for a 2+1 to try and beat out Dallas's offer. Hopefully that plus familiarity and the idea of playing for a top 5 team in the West will be enough to close the deal.

Yea, I’m sure Dallas could trade away salary to make it work, but it’s not like they just have the cash sitting there.
As another poster has stated, Dallas signed Wesley Matthews a couple years ago coming off an Achilles tear. He hasn’t been worth the money, and that has to factor into their decision.
Elton Brand is the only comp for a big coming off this injury. It took him a while to recover, and he wasn’t the same player. Add in all the guards (Kobe, Billups, etc), and the risk of throwing more than 3 years at anywhere near max scares the heck out of me.
If we go more than 3 and he’s not the same guy, then we are not going to have any flexibility to make moves in advance of AD’s free agency and be saddled with a crap contract if he leaves. The whole focus of the franchise needs to be positioning themselves to resign AD, and that means winning games.
