They're the ones who agreed to take on an old backup guard on a wildly inflated salary, and are now scrambling to find a way out of it. There are lots of playmaking guards out there who are as good as/better than Dragic, and the Mavs will find one. At worst, it won't be in the offseason. But Toronto is stuck with Dragic if they can't find a way to make a deal that works for the other team involved.
Agree with the above.
Agree that it’s smart not to let go of too much because “we have to get Dragic.”
But I’m of the opinion that they had to get a player LIKE Dragic, and that this player would probably start, and that Dragic seems to be the last of several such players they targeted. The last who I’d view as an upgrade to last year’s team, to be honest.
I’ve never been a “just do something” guy, but I can’t wrap my head around going into the season with LESS ball-handling and play-making than they had last season. I really, truly can’t.
