Starting role: Check

No chance to be pulled because of lineups: Check.
Those are 3 things the Nets can offer that the Mavs can't. So why is it that Blake damaged goods Blake (which is the only reasons why he's available), is more likely to go to a contender, while Drummond isn't?
Just wondering your thought process here.
By the way, totally agree Lowry would be a great move. But at the 30mil salary, it'd take Powell+JJohnson at the least and I doubt the Raps would take that kind of package for Lowry.
Given his age and what he'll want for his next contract, the Nets aren't the long term play. That would be my pitch to him anyway for joining the Mavs if the MBT are interested. I still think your assumption is correct.
