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

[KillerLeft]

There are lots of players in the NBA. Let's go ahead and find healthy ones.

Very, very valid. 

And that's the knock on Hayward, I'll admit. 

If you are scared of Hayward for health, you should be WAY more scared of Oladipo. He has healed, and his body doesn't work the same way, anymore. He's a different player now, and only Indiana fans seem to have noticed. The smart media people have noticed, but even local beat writer types from other teams seem to be talking about him like he is a name brand. That guy is gone. 

When it comes to assets like #18, it's easy to overrate their value, BUT I submit that the Mavs NEED to make that value go as far as it possibly can. Whether they trade the pick, make the pick, trade up, trade down, whatever...my hope is that they make a move that actually makes them BETTER. I do not believe that Oladipo accomplishes that.
