Exhibit 01Negative.no flair
Rich: “AD wAntS tO gO To A tEAm tHaT wIlL oFfEr hIm a LoNgteRm ExTenSioN” Nobody cares Rich. The Mavs didnt care and the Wizards don’t either. Play out the remaining 2.5 years on your overpriced salary. Nobody going to offer Street Clothes a long term after averaging an injury for every 1.5 games played for Dallas

At least it allows us to tank in peace, I’m done talking AD. He’s not playing anymore this season, and Rich Paul can fucking take his max extension plea and shove it.

Dude really showed up just to collect a check and dip lmao. AD's "career" with the Mavs was basically a long weekend
