Do we have any sourced reporting to indicate that Luka especially cares whether the Mavs get Dragic? (Not saying we don't, I could have missed it.)
If Toronto doesn't want a pu-pu platter of the Mavs' minor assets, do we think they will change their minds about that because Duffy tells Ujiri that Luka really wants them to do that deal?
Good questions. I don’t do this full-time like I’m told you do. But I can offer two responses (if not answers).
1. This report says they were friends and roomies when teammates: https://www.hothothoops.com/2019/12/10/2...am-adebayo.
2. Assorted Mavs pu-pu is what I thought we were discussing. Haven’t seen any mention of the Raps expecting a real asset (like a first rounder) for the chance to overpay Geriatric Goran. But even if they’re asking for more, discussing leverage without mentioning the Luka/Goran/Billy angle seems incomplete. We all know who has the most leverage, and it ain’t the new Nike guy.
