You did not say that it was your opinion that Dirk stays. You said that Dirk "squashed" the idea of playing for GSW.

Oh well I assume he did because there hasn't been any progress from that golden state rumor. I mean Donnie got some progress actually setting up a meeting with Whiteside.

Marc Stein squashed it on the radio today. Said no chance at all

Based on a gut feeling or an actual source?

I heard him on Zach Lowe's podcast yesterday morning and he said he doesn't see any way Dirk leaves. He didn't cite any kind of source, but he seems like he's usually pretty plugged in with the Mavs re: Dirk.

I think it's pretty obvious that Golden State is waiting to see how those meetings with Whiteside and Conley turn out before contacting Dirk... If the Mavs land either of those guys, then Dirk has reason enough to stay in Dallas... But if the Mavs strike out, then Dirk might weigh his options.

It's a pretty big stretch to say Dirk "squashed" any rumors when absolutely nothing has changed -- he hasn't said or done anything regarding Golden State. They're just as much or as little of a threat as they were when the rumor first dropped.
