Jason Terry says he rejected Atlantaβs $24 million offer after he saw Andre Miller sign for $55 million, a move that led to his $57 million sign and trade with the Mavericks
βI go out the next season, I average 17 points and 7 assists. You said you want me to be a point guard, so pay me like that. Andre Miller gets $55 million. He says, βWe got $24 million for you.β I'm like, βThatβs almost half of what he gettingβ
βI say, βListen, I'm just as good if not better. I gotta get paid as such.β At that point, I was like, βAtlanta's probably not gonna be home for me. Whenever thereβs an opportunity, let's go.β I had three coaches in four years and it was time to move onβ
βSo one time I'm in Dallas, they're playing Sacramento. I go to the game. I go in the Mavericks locker room. I went in there and I'm in the back office. Mark Cuban walks in. He said, βAin't you the one that hit the 47 points on us last season?β I said, βYeah.β He said, βYou know we pay over hereββ
βThe next year came around, I was free. I wasn't restricted again. I told Cuban, βIf there's any way you could come get me, come get me.β And they ended up trading for meβ
