The other option is to pay $19mm and have neither of those things. Even the play where Dragic takes a $9.5mm discount and signs here for the MLE means Toronto is spending $10mm for nothing. Why not pay the $10mm spread for something. They knew the position they were in when they agreed to the deal. I don’t think they made a mistake. But no one knows if the $19mm expiring deal will be useful until he can no longer be used as a trade chip or S&T chip (next summer).
Good point on the expiring feature. As we know so well in Mavs land this is an option that something good could happen, and something you wouldn’t give away for free if you are Masai.
Thank you Donnie.
