TRADE: Willie Cauley-Stein to DAL | UTA 2nd to GSW

[SleepingHero]

There goes one of our tool assets in the Utah 2nd

- but this is a good trade. WCS isn't good, but he's better than some schlep off the street.

Honestly that was my initial reaction to this trade (in bold), but when I realized the Utah pick is at 57, and more than likely staying int he mid 50s for the rest of the year, the Mavs got a pretty solid backup on a very cheap contract for one of the lowest picks in the draft. Just looking at this trade talent wise, the Mavs seemed to have fleeced the Warriors.

But obviously WCS biggest faults don't lie with his talent. My biggest fear is that he doesn't mix well with RC, ala Nerlens. WCS has just a low BBIQ as Nerlens did. Thankfully this is about as low risk as it gets deal-wise. Hopefully he puts it together here and becomes our next Brandan Wright.
