Would you rather:
A. keep Dinwiddie, sign Dragic at vet min, and keep everything else the same?
B. trade Dinwiddie for a rotation wing player behind DFS/Bullock, and sign Dragic? This option could also open the door for more Jaden Hardy minutes.
Trade Dinwiddie?
I was mostly away from the board for about five months, but one of the most surprising developments here was the narrative of Dinwiddie deprecation after the playoffs. I guess people prefer the bad old days. Luka-Brunson-Dinwiddie was far better than Luka-Brunson-THJ. SD is a more valuable creator than Dragic today, and certainly than THJ.
After seeing how good the team looked with three playmakers, they want to go down to one and a half (and that's if we get Dragic, which as people have said, is far from a done deal!) and play Super-Hardenball? That will sure attract free agents.
Unless we somehow get our pick back and are wanting to tank this year, trading Dinwiddie this summer without a playmaker coming back is committing seppuku on the year. If the Mavs trade him, I for one will be . They lost that luxury definitively when JB walked.
