It raises the question - did the Mavs just see Dragic as Bobi/JJB 3.0, or did they see the need for a playmaker? If the latter, why the hell not go after someone available, like, you know, when they're still available?
New GM, same horsepoop.
I think Dragic was in the "nice to have" category. I'm glad we didn't blink with Ujiri. We can always blink towards the TDL if worst comes to worse. I do agree with the sentiment of going after someone who is available. We are quickly heading towards the "break in case of emergency" options:
-JJB we are glad you stayed in shape and played overseas.
-Devin we like you on the microphone but we need you on the court.
-JKidd, Bill Russell was a successful player/coach, you'd like to be like Bill, wouldn't you?
