I hope you guys are right.
But his numbers were meh at best, and I don't think either of NY or DET would have traded him if they thought he was a useful player. Both teams tossed in the towel. And the idea that DET traded him away, because they want players who can win (in favor of THJ, no less!), should make you give pause.
And I'm being given an excuse for his play that was just debunked - he's saying he was 100% healthy.
I'll be glad to be wrong if he does good stuff in DAL, but I'm not counting any chickens on this one. Just a young guy, with a chance to try him out and see if there's anything worth having (expiring contract), and then figure it out from there imo.
