And I disagree with the premise anyway. When a guy is as fragile as AD, detached retina and torn hand ligaments are not freak injuries. They are evidence of how fragile his body is.
Stein says in the clip he now expects AD to be on the Mavs opening roster next year. There wasn’t much market for him already.
Come on, my guy. I'm not pushing back on the injury prone thing, but his finger was caught in the jersey of someone sprinting the opposite direction. If that had happened to Cooper Flagg, Cooper Flagg would have ligament damage in his hand. And, it's not a groin, calf, ankle, knee...
I agree that many teams would want no part of Davis, his high salary or his injury riddled past and probably future. I'm just saying that IF it ends up he's only out 4-8 weeks, I can see a team who'd already convinced themselves to look past all of that still wanting him. I agree with the notion that him being out for the season, should that end up being the case, lessons the chances of a deadline deal, but then again, as we've covered in recent days, a team who wants him right now and the expiring contracts to get him, like potentially ATL, CAN'T trade for him once those expirings are expired. I'm honestly not sure it's dead, though I'm certainly less confident (understatement).
