Missed you ml!!! Hope you're doing great! 

I could be wrong, but I think Jb meant that Duffy would call Nico and then Nico would add more value to the trade.

Hey, fif, have enjoyed reading your views.

Yes, I got that. Just adding another angle or two. 

1. It seems like, if it was critically important to Luka that the Mavs acquire Dragic, that call would already have been made. My question is whether we have any reason other than our own speculation to believe that Luka has his heart set on playing with Dragic. 

2.  I'm not sure we can point a finger at Nico for not having different assets to offer than he does. Ultimately, he can't force Toronto to take a bunch of meh assets if they would prefer to do something else. 

3. I assume, at some price point, Toronto would bite. If the Mavs are not willing to offer whatever that amount is, is that an indication that it isn't that important to Dallas whether they get Dragic or not?

4. If the Mavs aren't willing to give up the farm to get Dragic, should they be? They definitely need another playmaker, and I will be disappointed if they don't get one. But does it especially have to be Dragic?

I'm not saying they shouldn't pursue Dragic, or that there may not be things going on behind the scenes that make that pursuit at a higher cost than seems to make sense on paper sensible. 

Anyway, just throwing a couple more lines of thought into the fray. 

Had a chance to watch any Olympic soccer?
