Folks, you can go ahead and stop mentioning Dragic. It's not happening. He's an Eastern European guy who wanted to be in a major coastal city (not at all uncommon for European immigrants), to earn max or near-max money, and to ideally be the only ball-dominant player in his team's starting lineup. The Mavs can't offer him anything he wants.
And had they traded for him earlier this season (which by all accounts was incredibly unlikely to happen), they could potentially be in a far worse situation than they are now, because he could have completely surprised them by leaving in the offseason. At least they'll be prepared if Rondo leaves--and at least they didn't give up much to get him.
