I think they value Hardy very highly, and rightfully so, but I doubt he's untouchable, and it really all depends on what you think of the return. If they think they are a 5 away from contention as early as THIS THURSDAY, and they think Ayton solves that issue (not sure I agree with either thought) then I bet they wouldn't hesitate to include Hardy.
Don't think he is untouchable either, and he shouldn't be. I also have faith that the FO/Kidd are about to put Green's name in sharpie in the starting lineup.
I'm with you on not agreeing with the potential thought that Ayton solves the issue. For that reason, I don't want them to entertain Hardy in a deal for DA.
My hope is that they realize that Green and Hardy are two players with arrows pointing up and this Mavs roster is in short supply on guys like that. I'm also biased because I think Hardy has Jordan Poole potential and his value to the Mavs and/or in a trade isn't anywhere close to what it will be in a season or two.
