I don't see how his injury is a big deal long term. It's not his shooting shoulder. If he's available for our #1, the Mavs won't hold on to that pick. They'll pull the trigger. He should return before the end of the season and once he shows he's healthy, the price goes up. That's why you don't wait imo. It's not possible to acquire him without that pick and this team is built to win now. He is more important than a player that might take 2-3 years to develop. I will be highly surprised if we have our #1 pick after the trade deadline personally, but we'll see. That's why the trade deadline is so fun.
