If that's also what the Mavs' front office believes then they should trade him. I hope with another offseason of training and conditioning he can kick these nagging injuries that keep forcing him out, but if that's not going to happen then they're better off getting as much value as they can for him. For the record, I don't want to trade him because I think he can handle more minutes if he improves his strength and conditioning, but if not then so be it.
