Took a bigger role over money I guess.

That is too bad.  We had a tight fit though.  Without Hardaway it would have been more clear.  Personally, I prefer Dinwiddie play while here over the current version of Hardaway.  Hardaway has been important to this team though and I am not sure Dinwiddie can play like he had previously.   I just think Dinwiddie is the better fit between the two.   Nice pickup for the Lakers though.  I think he will help.

Mavs in a tough position without much backup if Kyrie or Luka misses games.  Especially with Dante's not being reliable to be on the court.  It could hurt if one misses multiple games.   Dinwiddie would have been good as the third guard, but then there are questions what happens to Hardaway minutes.  Can you still get Green close to 30 minutes, etc.
