2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[DallasBasketball]

They have no use for some semi-motivated vet.

I don't know what the plan is for the Raptors, but I don't think they will go for the playoffs.
And I don't think Dragic is already at his Vince-Carter-at-the-Hawks-stage of his career. They are a bad fit and something has to give.

The Mavs have nothing to trade for him and I'm not sure who else would.

I guess we will have to wait for after the Siakam trade.

The optionality I’m referring to is Toronto’s ability to attach their own young talent potentially with their own first round picks to Dragic’s expiring to get back a star player. The classic Mavs opportunistic expiring.

Or the more recent Presti ballast swap where Toronto takes back a longer contract in exchange for potentially 1st round picks.

Good news for Mavs, in both scenarios where Dragic is used as an expiring, it is PROBABLE that he would get bought out from the receiving team! In which case he could still be a Mav by the end of this season.
