Game 47 Dirkie: Tim Hardaway Jr 41.38% (not definitive enough bc haters)

Also, those hyping Isaac should be hopeful that my forbidding of the Mavs to trade O-Max holds, imo. That's the vision for who he can be, only healthy. I fully understand that getting there is not a given for him, but I also understand that players with that body type, wingspan, foot speed, motor and all around athletic package don't come around very ofter. I don't think there's even one per draft, to be honest.  When you get a guy like that you can't throw him away.

One of the nice things about attending games is getting to watch specific players in warm-ups.  It can fool you as I've seen Powell drain 20 threes in a row.  But, OMax has some ball skills (if you want to get excited about running against tackling dummies).  He also has great size.  He isn't young though.  For instance, Kuminga is younger and finally seems to be coming into his own.  So, this isn't waiting for some promising 19 year old to figure it out.

Still, I'd make OMax a consideration when looking at trade candidates.  We've tended to be mentioned for bigger guys who can create offense for themselves and others more than pure 4's.  I think that's at least partially because they think OMax can play alongside a big wing in the mold of the guys who often get mentioned for Dallas.  I don't agree with some of your positional assumptions if/when we trade for such a forward, but I do agree with the idea that GWill needs to go.  Trading for a big forward while retaining Williams blocks Prosper's path to the throne.
