DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[Kammrath]

I can totally agree about your evaluation above, only the part that I just don't value #3 a lot, because I am satisfied with the 2020/2021 improvement we would get. Anything afterwards is a bonus (but we have plenty of other options). I believe there is like 80 % chance Oladipo is at least a decent two way player, let's say something like he was in OKC and a decent fit with Mavs. Remaining 15 % is he will be a bust (due to injury, bad fit or combination). Based on all this I am strongly convinced Dipo brings a much higher chance of an improvement for the Mavs than the #18 pick.

Thanks for explaining. 

Yeah I just see the risks VERY differently and I am strongly against using assets to clear space for 2021 before we know if there is anyone worth chasing. 

I think there is a good chance (maybe 70%?) Dipo is a solid (role player level) two way player for 5 more years in the league. But I don't want the Mavs to trade #18 or other assets for that outcome. That outcome is NOT good for DAL considering he wants MAX money and may walk for nothing and may not accept a lesser role. I personally want 2017-18 Dipo, or I don't want to spend the costs to get him or retain him (again 5% chance from my seat). 

Time will tell how this all shakes out.
