That however doesn't mean that he isn't worth the risk, or that the Mavs shouldn't have made that trade. I'm already hearing rumblings from some fans about the trade being mistake, and that's just ridiculous. That trade was a no brainer. The Mavs would have been crazy not to do it.

Definitely agree with the second paragraph.
