But that is just my opinion and I am not a doctor, nor have I seen the details of his medicals.
I mean you may be 100% right. But he also could be a perfect fallen angel. If he does recover from his injury, he doesn't need to be the All-NBA guy he once was. In Dallas he'd be a clear 3rd fiddle behind Luka and KP and that may be the perfect spot for him. His skillset of creating his own shot and elite perimeter defense is what we've been looking for with Wright and JRich.
Put it this way, would I rather have JRich or Dipo in the same role? And honestly I'd have to take Dipo even with the injury concerns.

Well yes but there aren't THAT many MLE guys out there right now. A fully healthy Dipo on paper is exactly the kind of guy we'd want next to Luka. It's a long shot he'll ever be the same guy he was, but as long as he can average in the ballpark of 12/3/4 with some above average D that's a great signing imo.
