Let me put it this way.
If his value last week was a young player and a 1st, what do you think his value will be this summer after this injury? I would take any positive asset. A 2029 1st. Asa Newell. anything
If he suits up for the Mavs and gets hurt again, what do you think his value will be next trade deadline? A KP or Trae like return if we're lucky.
My point is "being patient" was never going to be a fruitful strategy with an AD trade. His value will only get lower and lower. His value will never again be as high as it was before this hand injury.
