AD's Trade Value is Apparently Very Low According to Stein on DLLS
Rumors
Today on the DLLS stream Mark Stein appeared and threw water on the AD trade deadline rumors. He prefaced by saying in his opinion the Mavs absolutely need to tank the season but he doesn't know if there is a tolerable return for AD out there during the season. He seemed skeptical that there was a "young player + salary filler + picks" type return for him.
~shrug~ If the trade market for AD is weak, you don't trade him. No biggie to say no. He is a top tier player. If you don't get that sort of offer, you don't pull the trigger, it's that's simple. Just wait.
Need (and pressure to win) in 29 other teams changes over and over. The ideas of some that you need to be desperate to trade him for whatever is offered this week or month because the boogeyman is ahead with him -- well, that's the GM-ing approach that gave away Luka to LA in a panic move. Just wait. Some WILL decide they really really need him. We just don't know when.
