TRADE: SAC trades Holmes+Prosper to Mavs

[mvossman]

Contrary to what most sports fans seem to think most players aren´t robots. Their performances usually don´t just deteriorate in their physical primes. It is injuries, addiction problems, mental problems or other personal reasons. You just need to evaluate the reasons and whether they can be overcome. Historically the Mavs have been notoriously ignorant or bad in these situations that demanded research and player evaluations.

This has all the trademarks of a bounce back year for Holmes.

He won the custody battle that must have weighed heavily on his mind. He´s getting out of the toxic environment and bad memories the Sacbee created for him in Sacramento with their accusations. He gets a change of scenery, in a completely new place. That´s exactly the kind of player you can bet on.

On top of all of that, he is a P&R player on a team that went away from P&R.  His fit will be so much better on the Mavs.  He might actually be our best option at starter this coming season.
