MJ has value, no one disputes that, but he is not worth the amount we are paying him. If a younger guy can perform close to him and has more upside for 1/3rd or less of the cost it is a no-brainer. 

Keeping an intact unit with happy players is not irrelevant when you are trying to resign them. I don't disagree he might need to restructure, but MJ is good enough to plug in anywhere on the line, and if keeping him here keeps Dunlap wanting to be here, that is helpful. Dunlap already has life changing money, so the other intangibles are important. I don't think it's that important to Geno, but MJ and Carlos are tight.
