I think DJJ was indeed the first choice, but the instant he started getting cute with swapping agents, looking for more $$, anything that was going to extend the timeline on getting a deal done, DAL went instantly to option 2 (or maybe 1A?) to insure securing a quality player for the rotation.

Personally, I applaud Nico & co. decisiveness. That seems to be a trait with their talent acquisitions in the last two years and I'm absolutely on board with that.
