Heat wanted to send us Dragic right? But we didn't want his contract so we could go out and lock up Delon Wright?

DLord's article is still up. Miami maintained Dragic was in the deal. Dallas said it was always DJJ and Olynyk *(which wasn't even legal).
No team ever clarified and the deal just died. One can infer that the Mavs wanted Dragic and DJJ, and the Heat didn't want to send that, so Dallas reneged and then offered up an illegal counter offer.
I honestly think Dallas had an idea that they could realistically get Danny Green at the time (before we got super strung along) and decided to nuke the deal and not tie up their entire cap, thinking they had bigger plans for the rest of free agency. We all know how that turned out.
Either way, I was super bummed out. I was so excited for Dragic to be here. He would've been exactly what we needed at the off-guard role.
