Again I don't want to give up our nice assets but you can't put the cart before the horse. If we need a big 3 to contend (it's an argument but I would lean towards yes) then you have to be willing to give up smaller pieces to get that 3rd foundational piece.
Will the Mavs try to make a big splash this offseason? I am really not sure. I think they are hesitant to trade their assets bc they believe they can get a star played in 2021 "for free" (ie cap space only).
You've correctly identified the issue: Is Oladipo a 3rd, foundational piece? Would Oladipo even be "a big splash?"
You think he IS, so I understand why you're in favor. If you're correct, it's a good move, depending on what it takes to trade for him.
I think he's NOT. I think there's a decent chance that Hardaway Jr is actually a better player than Oladipo next season.
