Rotations and Ideas

[Smitty]

I think this is about right, only I think Dinwiddie has a pretty good shot at stealing a big chunk of those Exum minutes (which I'm not hoping for, but might be necessary if Exum is still allergic to shooting) and I hope Grimes gets a few minutes as a guard.

I agree that Dinwiddie can and probably will have a bigger role than what I posted. He’ll likely spot start when one of Luka or Kyrie are out. And he might be closer to 20+ mpg in his normal bench role. Exum however has something none of the guards have, if we’re saying Grimes is a wing, and that’s defense. You’ve pointed out that the Mavs may have gone a bit too far on the offense side of things this offseason and in my opinion Exum has shown to be a valuable regular season player, especially on the defensive end. For now, I’d like to count him as a rotational piece to start the year. It’ll all work itself out eventually either way.
