It’s insane to have a guy like that accounting for so much of your salary related resources. Of course you can’t give up this current pick, which has significant value, and will decide whether the Mavs are a viable franchise for the next decade, but otherwise, the Mavs just have to delete that terrible contract, whatever it takes.
See, I expected more people to think THIS way, judging by the recent tone of the board. I'm surprised some of those who are most vocally depressed about the situation haven't gotten here yet.
If you 1) don't think there's any hope of AD contributing to a truly competitive Mavs team, 2) don't think there's any hope of the Mavs getting even a modest return for him in trade and 3) are completely dejected over his presence here because it's both a financial barrier to productive team building and a constant bummer of a reminder about how a finals team was destroyed, then I don't know why you wouldn't be on this mindset.
It's pretty interesting to me. I don't mean this as an admonishment to anyone, or even a sarcastic dig. I just think people are currently hopeless and it's doing some interesting things to morale. I think the fact that more people wouldn't do something like this kind of PROVES the situation might not be as bad as it seems right now, and that deep down people know that.
