That makes great sense. It was probably either something that didn’t happen (like this), or something that happened very late (like Dipo for Trash from Miami).
If it was Green or Redick (and why wouldn’t NO wait if the only other option was a buy out), then clearly Dallas feels it is short a shooter (and seemingly wanted a deep bench PF just in case). It makes you wonder why Burke can’t handle the role envisioned here (though as good as Burke has been in Dallas shooting 3’s, he’s not as good from the corner as Green/Redick). Is Redick strictly deep bench, or will he get the Burke minutes (maybe 5-7 minutes at the start of the 2nd and 4th).
The next question is what (if anything) do these preferences say about the summer.
