Caruso adds better shooting and some additional playmaking to the starting lineup and DJJ becomes your primary bench forward. Then you see what you get from Maxi/Omax/Hardy/Exum.
If the Mavs send out a bigger package for a starting caliber player I would prefer to go for a bigger wing/forward. As great as Caruso is DJJ and PJ have proven that bigger guys can also defend the best opposing guards. The way the Mavs overload on defense size/length is super valuable. Bigger guys in the gaps. Covering more ground. Offering more resistance at the rim.
Would also solve the Maxi replacement issue. Allow them to play PJ as the small ball center if the need arises.
