I couldn’t care less about “selling high” on him. His biggest value is going to be his small-medium sized contract expiring next year.
At least on this board there are very few that think that Mavs can win now with this team. So why not increase the asset base with someone that is not a great fit going forward? THJ has been very good offensively, but offense never really was a problem. Mavs desperately need better defenders next to Luka/Kyrie duo.
It is true that it will be easier to move his expiring deal. But the idea discussed here is - would it make sense to cash in for THJ for a similar size (and duration) contract and assets(s). For eaxample Orlando and Isaac. Mavs would still have expiring contract to deal in the summer and another pick in the chest. I don't think they would be any worse dealing THJ even as good as he was so far. Even if they lose a couple of games because of that, so what. Its about long term, not about having a couple of more wins this season.
I am not saying I would actively shop him. But, if teams are calling and have interest, I would listen.
