All that I am suggesting is that with the kind of changes I think are coming in the very near future, I don’t think anyone is safe. I think decisions are going to be made based on salary matching and not much else.
I don’t think they are trying to get rid of him or anything. I think not going after Dragic pretty much proves that they don’t view him as expendable like Moses.
I think "not going after Dragic" tells us nothing, except that they had decided to invest those minutes in SD. Going into next season, if Brunson re-signs, there will still be 16 players with contracts fighting for 15 roster slots (including 1st rounder), and FN hasn't really distinguished himself to any degree.
I think they are likely to lessen the load with one or more deals, but FN's only selling point to the Mavs seems to be cheap contract/theoretical upside. There needs to be more.
