Did you read the part where I agreed that not giving up Terry, Green or Brunson (the speculated ask, at the time) was the right line to toe? I've written that many times.
I'm saying if they didn't have a deal in place for Dragic (it very much seemed they did), why didn't they get someone else? They can't go into the season without a playmaker of his caliber or higher. Those guys are not a dime a dozen. There aren't very many of them, and they HAD to get one.
It's not over, but I'm getting worried.
It doesn't sound to me like the Mavs were ever offering anything the Raps would want. Lots of chicken was played; the Raps won.
It raises the question - did the Mavs just see Dragic as Bobi/JJB 3.0, or did they see the need for a playmaker? If the latter, why the hell not go after someone available, like, you know, when they're still available?
New GM, same horsepoop.
