To me, the potential is there depending on the outcome of this offseason.

I get why you and others are just taking him at his word now, but his word has changed. Why cant it change again for the previously unthinkable?
I think questioning the direction the FO took two off seasons ago (which he's doing here) is very different than questioning the ability and commitment of the FO moving forward (which is not what I read here).

I think it would take the latter happening for Dirk to consider leaving, and I don't see that happening.
