I know.. But who do u think is holding it up?
The Nets wanted to do the deal. They got cold feet at first because they wanted to move Varejao to a 3rd team. Then they thought about it and said fukk it we can do it.
The Cavs were
at the thought of having to pay Joe and the luxury tax that came with it. It wasn't the smartest thing to do so they passed.
The Mavericks situation got crazy and Deron saw an out and asked for a buyout. That got Brooklyn under the tax so they were cool with keeping Joe for one more year. They don't want to tank because they don't have a pick next year.
