We already have that role filled, its going to be Klay. Naji will take DJJ place and Grimes will take Green place. Din, Exum and Hardy will be fighting over regular season minutes, but I doubt any of them will crack the top 8 rotation in the playoffs if the team is healthy.
If Dinwiddie's production is a product of the Mavs system, vs the other teams he's been on, he's in the playoff rotation, no question. We are talking about who's gonna fill in that third offensive role in the playoffs, like we didn't just lose to a team that had like 5 legit offensive weapons. Guys who can legitimately create their own shot (and shown a propensity to do well in clutch situations) are just as valuable come playoff time as the lockdown defender types. It could be that he's legitimately washed, but his post Mavs production is too similar to pre Mavs for me to think it's age related and not role/system related.
