I am just questioning whether it makes sense to substantially overpay for him just to have something done this week. Smacks of desperation over a player who might not be a significant upgrade over Brunson to get the season started.
Maybe Dragic really is that important. Or maybe overpaying for him is really the best the Mavs can do this season. If the latter is the case, silent tears are coursing down my face.
My stance:
1) Dragic is as good a fit of a player currently "available" as I can see. Don't see better options available.
2) I wouldn't pay a single asset to get him. I am glad Nico is playing hard ball and not caving.
