We don't know if they misread the market. The plan all along could have been to not participate in the madness if they struck out on their top three targets. Cuban went into the DAJ free angency wanting to tank if they whiffed, but presumably Dirk changed his mind. Perhaps Cuban still wants to go with the draft and develop method, and talked Dirk into opting out, so he can leave when the pipe dream whiffs again.
