RE: Does Dallas have a real interest in Logan ?

[Brent Wyrick]

A bigger question is what was up with his bouncing around the minors and
almost playing in Israel was it? If I remember, he never really played any
ball. I'm wondering if this is a mental/motivational thing with Logan. I
know problems with his agent vs. Gary St. Jean at GState had a lot to do
with him not signing originally. 

Just seems like he threw a reasonably lucrative and good career right out
the door.

When do his rights lapse ?
 
Im just curious of both sides motivation for including him.
 
Maybe Dallas figures they can get $50k for his rights if someone wants to
pick him up.
 
But if he hasnt been playing regularly and is overweight, I cant see any NBA
team wanting him.
 
Its a shame because I really thought he could make it. He was one pick away
from guaranteed 3 year money.

Remember, his >draft rights< were traded, not the player himself. So
now his rights belong to Dallas instead of GState. All that means is
that Dallas gets first dibs, it does not mean they >will< sign him, it
means they >can< sign him.

With Jason Terry, Travis Best and Harris on the Maverick roster, I do
not expect Dallas to sign him. Dallas' rights to Lo will likely lapse
and he would be officially a 'free agent'. I wouldn't consider Logan
trade bait.
