And this year he's what? I'm pretty sure it's 2023 Middleton we're talking about.
and... who gives a shit. This is a theoretical argument without any consequence. You're like a Chihuahua biting at ankles. Point is what is best for the Mavs... are you saying they shouldn't build around Luka/Wood/Dinwiddie?

It's true Middleton had a knee injury in the playoffs last season, then wrist surgery in the offseason too, and has been going through an extended process to get back to full speed, but he's been a superior two-way player season after season. He was selected to the ASG each of the last 3 seasons and up to the playoff injury, was essentially the same player.
Both MIL players are excellent on defense, far beyond what you can get from either Wood or SD on that end of the floor. And each has shown to be at least on a par with the Dallas players on offense too.
And this matters how? Are the Bucks trading them? This is like a superman vs batman debate, lol.
Are you saying the Mavs shouldn't build around Luka/Wood/Din with another player at Wood/Din's level? If so, what is your suggestion?
