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

[Chicagojk]

I don't think that Brunson and JB are mutually exclusive. Mavs have wanted Dragic for a year (and vice versa), but either didn't have a way to get him, or room on the roster. Now they have both.

I don't think this is about money for Dragic, as the main priority, so I'm still not convinced he gets more than minimum. In the right scenario, he would be willing to sign each summer for a year at a time, to be a mentor and a sometime contributor, and it would start with the expectation it would last for several years.

I hope this doesn't end up Goran is a target because we have lost Brunson.   I don't see a fit for Goran with Luka, JB & Dinwiddie (plus THJ) all here.

I wonder if Dinwiddie could be the odd man out?  He played really well here last year and fit in fine.   But maybe he was meant to have a short stay here?   We don't know all the factors at the trade deadline but it appeared the Mavs rated both Goran and Dinwiddie on the same tier.    Maybe there is a way to get value for Dinwiddie and replace him with a lower cost older player.   

Probably not the plan, but just curious.  I can't think of many teams looking for a mid teen salaried non elite point guard.
