The Mavs hit some rough luck when CP3 and Dwight both opted in to the last year of their respective deals, and between that, missing out on Deron, and this season's struggles, how could he feel any differently. But nothing that he said indicates that he wants to leave, and even the interpretation of his statements as indicating a disconnect with the front office is at best dependent upon unsubstantiated and assumptions about front office plans.

And even with his direct comments about how unhappy he could be in 2013-2014, he then defused a lot of the sting by stating his explicit desire to finish his career here.
So what's the big story, exactly? Dirk would be frustrated if the roster isn't better next season, but he'll still be here? Newsflash?
