As far as Dragic goes I just think there's only so much you can do in one offseason. I think Dragic is a good fit for a 6th man, spot starter type role.
I am still not off the Marcus Smart bandwagon. Watch highlights of some of his dimes, he is a good passer. On defense he is going to be able to ruin some guys days. Smart is a guy that can play some with and without Luka. He might be a guy that can run the offense at the end of the first when Luka rests.
Not sure if there is a path to Smart and Turner but if there is, that's two guys I am interested in. I still have Dragic on my radar because of obvious fit and he will be available for less money.
Signing Dragic is exactly the kind of useless short-term move that the Mavs have done for the last decade. What is the purpose behind paying 35 year old Dargic 20-25 MPG on a team not ready to win a championship? This franchise needs a cohesive long-term strategy, but I guess what I´m asking is way beyond the abilities of the people in charge.
Just four months ago the Mavs gave up a second pick for
1) a 37 year old with a chronic injury that told them he did not want to play here.
2) a player that they did not want themselves.
At least Cuban is making history. Never before has a team paid a 2nd round pick for the right to add a player they don´t want.
Can you imagine how dumb that makes you look around the circle of players and their agents. Then Cuban cannot understand why no superstar would hitch himself to that in free agency.
