The whole thing is extremely weird when you only have two guys that can dribble a basketball and he’s so close to Luka and wanted to be here. He’s cheap, left handed, veteran leader, doesn’t need a ton of minutes. Seems like a perfect fit.
Its hard to imagine him being a bad influence from a taking care of your body standpoint. To be able to still play at an NBA level at his age you have to be doing something right.
I think the Mavs might have been al little too honest with Dragic (maybe out of respect?). I think they like what they have seen from Green in offseason, and need to get Timmy minutes (if for no other reason than to trade him) and they really are looking for an emergency PG. I think Dragic wants more than that (although I am skeptical he will get it in Chicago).
As someone said above, an emergency PG can be picked up off the scrap heap if somebody (Luka/Din) goes down for more than a game or two. I'm not a fan of that approach, but it seems to be their thinking.
