I'm talking about a set of "what Cuban is willing to do" rules concerning spending. We don't know exactly what they are, and I'm sure they're contingent on opportunity value (in Cuban's judgement) to a certain extent, but it's clear these rules exist.
Knowing that, maybe Dorsey is the best option? I'm going to try to give the kid a chance. As @"Chicagojk" mentioned, I don't see him turning down good contract offers from multiple European teams for an NBA two-way at 26. Even those European jobs (the ones from reputable clubs who actually pay what they promise) are kind of hard to get, from what I can tell.
The financial limitations should have been known at the TDL and before. If we are giving Nico credit for the KP trade, he has to take some of the hit for bungling Brunson (but I have never seen him mentioned in that capacity, its all FO or Cuban).
With a team in desperate need of third point guard, I can't imagine any universe where Dorsey makes more sense than Dragic. It can't be the 2 mil in tax we have to pay (I don't think Cuban is that cheap). Maybe Dragic desperately did not want to come here, but that is not the vibe I am getting.
I realize the offseason is not over, but I am losing faith this roster construction is going to make sense by the end, and honestly worried that they are going to do more harm than good if they make a significant move.
