Yes, I am reading between the lines. If they aren't competitive because the FO whiffs the 2013 offseason Dirk won't be happy. It is not hard to see that an unhappy Dirk would want out, ie a trade...or he just finishes next year and then retires. After all, he is unhappy now and has moved from trusting the FO to questioning and doubting them. So, the logical leap of wanting out is not too hard to envision.
