Not impressed by many of the comments on here. A team will trade as much for AD as they must to get him if they want him enough. It only takes ONE team to want him. Demand defines the market.
In general, what I see from a lot of Mav's fans, is a built-in disdain for AD because he is what replaced Luka. A fan with such an emotional trigger isn't qualified to determine ADs worth (they wouldn't be anyway, but whatever).
If a team thinks AD is the final piece, they will trade accordingly.
On the flipside, DRAFT PICKS ARE RISKY.
Two drafts ago, Atlanta took Risacher with the same pick the Mavs took Flagg a year later. But many on here say Risacher is worth nothing. Well, if the #1 draft pick from 18 months ago is already worth nothing, what is a lottery pick worth next year? Yeah, exactly. Maybe less than nothing.
Now, I like high draft picks, but this garbage talk about AD not worth draft picks is dumb. AD is a known quantity that was averaging 30/13 over his last 3 games and is borderline all-defensive team when healthy.
