@"omahen" I would be interested in buying early on some players, for sure. I actually think Christian Wood might look like a missed opportunity in a year or two. So, I get the point.
I just don't see Oladipo in that light. Since my belief is that he won't be a very good player moving forward, I'm not interested in beating the competition to him. If he ends up proving me wrong and the Mavs trade for him, I'll be excited, but if he ends up being awesome and some other team gets him, I'll be fine with that. It won't change the history of how I assess the situation right now, if that makes sense, and I just think the team's future is too precious to gamble on a player like that.
I get that you and some others are reasonably convinced he'll be good, but I'm just not.
