The NBA every year moves more and more to the 3pt and position-less basketball. I don’t see why on earth we would trade one of the best 3pt shooters in the game on a favorable contract for one year of a guy who could turn Rondo
Wow, you are pessimistic. Simple fact is we have to improve to contend. While it is possible Oladipo never goes back to his best self, it is also possible he does. While Oladipo could choose to leave after the season, he could also stay. So if Mavs think Oladipo can return to his all star days and he is open to discussion about 2021 free agency, they should absolutely pull the trigger on this one. If not, than they should not trade for him, someone who wants to win now will.
My first impression was the trade was light, but Oladipo really is a polarizing option. Risks involved regarding his health and free agency. Someone would really have to be sure he will stay to pay much more. Although, Indy already has their "Seth" on the bench and he also came from Dallas.
