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.

Two years. Which make him 10 year vet after that contract.
Player option does not make sense for me. If he will be good -he will decline the option. If he will be bad - he will opt in.
Team option is good for NO. But he wont agree for it.
As for contract.
$46millions in total guaranteed money. $9 millions in incentives.
$22+4.5 in year one
~$24 +4.5 in year two
Incentives with number of games played in both seasons. Minutes and stats. All Nba etc.
Because he was injured recently -even 50 games played will be counted as unlikely.
Probably he wont take it.
But this type of contravt construction (suggested by Jason Calmes) makes most sense.
