I'm still against Dipo. He's had one good season prior to the injury and I don't really see him as a starter in Dallas. He seems at his best with the ball in his hands and Luka just dominates in that regard. I guess he'd be fine if you want to make him your super sixth man a la Terry.
Not really sure what your definition of good is but I think he was at least an above average starter for his entire career. Clearly better than THJ right now. Better than guys like Aaron Gordon, Otto Porter or Josh Richardson have ever been. Agree that he only had one season were he looked like a legit star player.
My biggest concern about his post injury performance is the lack of quickness on defense. That´s what made him a good player prior to his breakout season. He was able to defend the most athletic guards in the league. And that´s exactly what the Mavs desperately need.
I am not sure if he is the right guy but I definitely prefer him on a max deal over any of the listed guys on a 20+ mio deal.
