Again, I'm not saying this is all old news or not interesting. I'm just not sure it's a huge story.

Being disappointed about missing on Deron and looking to 2013 to land a big fish sounds like Dirk was at least publicly on board at the direction, at the least, he was trusting the FO would make it work. The gist I got out of his comments tell me he is losing faith and confidence in what they are trying to do, and he is giving this upcoming offseason as a last chance. Anyway, this adds up to not only interesting but a big deal from my interpretation.
