The draft pick is not as troublesome to me if that gets in the mix. It's not likely that we get a better player that Stewart in the draft. Stewart is young, tough, and has had some good games as a Piston. The Mavs may not get another shot at that kind of player... one who is just coming into his own looks NBA-ready. He's athletic enough to be moved around and is still pretty darn scary under the basket.
I mean we signed two guys to min deals that I would rather have than Stewart, so the opportunities are out there. He is making 15 mil a year. I'm not sure he is worth that yet, let alone an unprotected first on top. It does not help that (as mentioned above) I struggle to see his fit.
