DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Dundalis]

If you look at it like this and say

Are we better with Oladipo or Hardaway Jr. + pick 18 and pick 31

I think we are at best a draw so I do not see the point in overpaying for him.

Tim Hardaway Jr. has his faults but he is a team guy and is loved by his teammates.

I agree, but more because I have zero faith in Oladipo either returning to his all star form or having any real longevity in the game being 29 and so reliant on athleticism to be the player he was.

However I don't think THJ is a good player either after just one outlier shooting season. The fact his entire value is predicated pretty much of 3pt shooting efficiency for a guy who's never been a consistent shooter, is as much of a risk in terms of him regressing closer to his mean shooting avgs next season, as the risk of Oladipo recovering his All star level.
