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

[khaled1987]

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.

I liked Hayward til I read that nerve damage thing. I'm out. I wasn't convinced on Dipo anyway. So I'm out. 

It's like we've all told budies in the past, and like we all should have told ourselves once upone a time at some point in our lives...there are more fish in the sea.

The problem with Hayward is fans has that "but the new injuries isn't related to old one" attitude which isn't accurate. 


People need to realize that you can't isolate the health of one area of your body, muscle imbalances and biomechanics are for real. 

A huge injury like the one Hayward had, might heel, but it might change the balance the body once had, you could get other injuries with the old one seems perfectly healthy, but it doesn't always mean bad luck, it could also mean : I don't have the balance anymore, and I will always get a new injury somewhere. 

I hope he will be healthy and I am just a pessimistic sob, he is great player and great talent for sure and those players you always wish they are healthy so we can enjoy their talent.

I just don't want the Mavs to be the one taking this risk, for me I have a rule that you don't take risk on more than one injury prone player. We have that on KP, that is more than enough for me.
