2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

I don't think that Brunson and JB are mutually exclusive. Mavs have wanted Dragic for a year (and vice versa), but either didn't have a way to get him, or room on the roster. Now they have both.

I don't think this is about money for Dragic, as the main priority, so I'm still not convinced he gets more than minimum. In the right scenario, he would be willing to sign each summer for a year at a time, to be a mentor and a sometime contributor, and it would start with the expectation it would last for several years.

This is how I see it too - there's always been mutual interest between Mavs and Dragic (well, except for maybe one botched Miami trade a few years ago...).

I imagine the Mavs envision Dragic with a particular role that would increase in the event that Brunson does leave and that Dragic understands that.  At least, that's what makes sense in my mind.
