2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

Can't see why the Bucks would choose Bembry over Dragic.

I seriously don't get why we'd keep Burke over Dragic. If it was up to me Burke would've been waived last night.

Also curious that the Mavs are in Miami tonight, where Dragic has been staying. Easy to just pick him up and take him back home.

I hate that we're seemingly out on Dragic. I understand if he chooses a more featured role elsewhere but to makes no sense for DAL to not engage, unless his camp has already informed DAL that this is the case for him and they did DAL a solid of being embarrassed when they lost out on him.

I get not dropping Burke. We have enough money weighing down our cap, no need to further clutter it. I was disappointed they weren't able to move his contract, though. Much of the same applies to Brown, here. The move was always moving on from Frankie. If we're being honest, he's going to be available again in the summer for peanuts.

None of these three will make a difference in the playoffs. I have faith in Brunson but we haven't seen him do this in the playoffs. I love the development we've seen from Green but he's not getting significant minutes in the playoffs unless he closes like a freight train during the stretch run. Any role he has will be laser focused and limited. His growth is about next season. Dragic can play with Dinwiddie because he can play as well off the ball as he can with it. SD cannot say the same so he'd remain the primary ball handler for the second unit but Dragic would have opportunity, regardless. Adding him is about making the most of this season. It guards against injury and exhaustion from Luka/JB/SD. It also helps if Maxi goes down and we have to go to the lab and trot out extreme, small ball. Most of all, it puts a guy that was good for 20/4/5 in MIA's run to the Finals on your bench. That's a good thing. This season is about the second round and, preferably, a great showing in that second round. We're better equipped to do so with him here.
