Their best lineups were Hayward-Brown-Tatum and Hayward-Smart-Tatum, with Hayward distributing the ball. He's just a better all around player than Dipo. And while he has been injury plagued in Boston, he's had freak things like broken hand and a high ankle sprain that are seperate from his serious injury. With Dipo it's all about his serious injury.
Yeah, I'm not saying he's the second coming, but I really think a lot of fans turned the page on him when he went to Boston and started getting hurt. I admit that availability is the most important ability in sports, but I honestly think people have forgotten how good the guy is.
If the Mavs believe the injuries are behind him (again, I think concerns about that are extremely valid) then I'll be optimistic about the fit.
I will also say that when it comes to the PRICE (contract, not trade cost) I hope the Mavs stick to their honest evaluation of what he's worth instead of overreacting to recent events and overpaying.
