It seems like if any team is in a box, it's Toronto. They're the ones who agreed to take on an old backup guard on a wildly inflated salary, and are now scrambling to find a way out of it. There are lots of playmaking guards out there who are as good as/better than Dragic, and the Mavs will find one. At worst, it won't be in the offseason. But Toronto is stuck with Dragic if they can't find a way to make a deal that works for the other team involved.
I am presenting that as an opinion, not a report or a fact, so it may be that circumstances exist that make it crucially important for Dallas to sign Dragic himself.
Which reminds me how strange it seemed that Toronto did this deal with Miami. A big fat favor to outgoing Lowry? A seeming miscalculation on their ability to unload him on Dallas? Or what? And why would f’n Pat Riley be the beneficiary of yet another favor from another team? (HATE that dude!)
