I probably default to being a loyal homer until enough evidence mounts for me to stop defending someone or trying to argue for why I still have hope. My default mode is hope.
So I didn't give up on the idea of DSJ being a good player for the Mavs until he went AWOL.
There was evidence that, if he did what RC told him to do, that he could become a good player. Maybe with Luka, RC envisioned a Delon type player for DSJ.
But DSJ wanted his own team, and didn't want to be coached or molded. Too bad for DSJ, and maybe good for us.
Though I think Dennis would have been traded for KP even if he had not gone AWOL.
