He absolutely is leverage against the idea that the Mavs are completely desperate for another ball handler and that trading for Dragic is their only option and the Mavs should surrender a 1st round pick for him. Brunson was objectively better than Dragic last season - like not even close really.
Miami should be the ones paying up for Dragic having to land in Toronto where there’s not a logical fit for him right now. Not the Mavericks. Toronto doesn’t have to facilitate the Lowry trade if it doesn’t want to, and the Mavericks are under no obligation to make this easier for Miami and Toronto.
