Do you think Kidd would play Dinwiddie ahead of those two? If so, what do you think of that?

No, I don’t. I think those guys and Grimes are who will be the bench guards. The reason I can see Dinwiddie happening is that I don’t think anyone is going to offer him anything other than an end of bench job. In other words, of all the ride the bench jobs, and of all the ride the bench players, I can see Dinwiddie and the Mavericks choosing each other.

Anyone they bring in at this point, for any reason, is going to play about as much or even less than Seth Curry played last year.

Given all the publicity that was put out there about how Morris was one of the vocal leaders of the team, I think Gump has the right of it, and that’s probably who we should expect. It’s so obvious that the team chemistry is a big part of what they got right last year, and it’s not hard to imagine how much better life is for these teams when the guys in those final few spots aren’t constantly sulking because they aren’t playing.

Having said that, if they weren’t looking at other options, they might have announced something like this already, right? I just think that when the dust clears, that option is likely to make the most sense.
