How hard is that final year to stretch and waive or simply keep for a team thats not likely to make the Playoffs in the East. I think that the Raps are asking too much for a declining expensive Dragic.
No, not at all.
It's not that terrible for any team, as long as he's sufficiently high in the rotation, which, judging by how much better he looked by the end of the season (way better than we all thought he'd rebound from the injury) might actually be the plan here, even.
What if the plan is to simply go back to the KP/Powell/Kleber rotation from the season before last? I know @"DanSchwartzgan" probably thinks that's worth a try. WCS as the 4th big, used situationally? DFS slides to the 4 every once in a while for spot minutes?
I hope the Mavs aren't done, and I truly think Dragic would make a difference here, but I can imagine that this could possibly be the Mavs' thinking.
