Right now, if Josh is the starting 3, they’re too small at that position. He doesn’t play well as a forward (I think the 3 and 4 should pretty much be interchangeable, long, agile defenders). Josh needs to be exclusively a guard. On the other hand, if they trade him for Klay, between that and the DJJ for Marshall swap, they’re a far less athletic team. Grimes is a wildcard replacing THJ, who wasn’t really in the rotation anyhow at the end, so I’m not sure whose minutes Grimes is taking or if he’ll ever be over the persistent injuries thst have limited his effectiveness. Doesn’t look like the Mavs will get much out of this off-season. They’ll be a little better on offense if they get an offensive coordinator, but worse on defense. They’ll miss DJJ’s spectaculsr rim protection and solid POA defense. Klay will be played off the court by good teams and in the playoffs because he no longer guards. I’ve been happy with all the Mav’s moves beginning with Kyrie. Not a fan of tonight.
