No I did not miss any of that - in fact, I commented on its relevance when I mentioned that
1 not a single player on this Mavs roster was here when he did any of that
2 nor coach, as far as I can tell
3 and much of the front office
But, I noted Cuban is here, and Dirk in an advisory capacity, and they will probably have ideas as far as whether the benefit is worth the trouble.
I do agree the question of whether that bridge has been burnt is meaningful, and that it's possible they might not go farther than that, before they begin to weigh why they think he wasn't useful for LAC in the playoffs, after being VERY good for them in the regular season.
One other factor does come into the equation, and that's availability intertwined with price. If Dragic is priced out of consideration, then the idea of preferring Dragic becomes irrelevant. Whether that's the case or not, we don't really know, but is Rondo at least better than nothing. I dunno, but I gotta think it's possible.
