The 3 MUST be a POA defender. Non-negotiable. Last season taught us that, though some are trying to forget. The Mavs are about to re-sign Jones AND have now added Grimes. They've DOUBLED DOWN on what they think works from that position. 

This!  It’s why I’m not interested in Klay. It’s hard to find someone who can improve on DJJ offense without sacrificing a lot on defense. I actually think there is a possibility Grimes turns into that guy. In that world DJJ can be your backup 4 as well as your backup 3.
