His sources on the Mavs told him they wanted Lowry and thought they would be able to get him. THOSE SOURCES - not Stein - were the ones who misread what was unfolding and the Mavs' chances.
In the meantime, Woj and Shams were talking to people in other places. To Lowry's agent? Or maybe to the MIA front office? Whoever it was, those perceptions proved more accurate as to the outcome. But again, all they could report was what those SOURCES - who turned out to have a better feel - thought about the situation.
This is a great insight, imo. Thanks for offering.
