That means A) they DID value him (in that role) more than the other "guys they could get off the street" but B) not enough to offer him the bigger, vitally important role we all know they have available.
Again, I think @"Kammrath" is doing a pretty good job of connecting the dots here. They either have a better idea than Dragic lined up or they thought they did when those negotiations were taking place.
When the dust clears, the question will be: were they right to prioritize the choices they made, or not? If nothing better materializes, no. If it does, sure. It's that simple.
I was pro-Dragic but I just can't get that worked up ab a 36 yr old vet min PG. The Mavs waited for like a month on Danny Green to make a decision a couple of years ago like he was Lebron or something. That is one of the stupider things we have witnessed from this FO. I am not that worried ab Mavs finding somebody this time around. There will be decent PGs that don't even have an NBA team to start the season so I am fine with the Mavs trying to get a better deal.
