I'm not sure where you're getting that he looked washed with the Nets. He averaged nearly 5 assists a game. That is not washed. And if he can get back to 2021 level or close to it- in which he was most definitely not washed- then I can see him being a valuable part of the rotation.
You don't see the perks? He's a ball handler/playmaker, and the Mavs need one very badly. Having Luka and Dinwiddie as the only playmakers on the team is not a recipe for success.
Maybe he's a last resort type of move, but I feel like we're kind of in a last resort situation already. We have almost nothing in the way of trade assets.
Edit: I could be wrong, but I really don't think the Mavs are pursuing him just because he's Luka's buddy. I don't think they just want another cheerleader to replace Boban. I think they believe that Dragic has some real basketball left in him.
