I'm officially a believer that if he gets enough opportunities for the rest of this season the Mavs will have something there.
If he isn't ready by the playoffs (pretty likely) then you just shorten him out of the rotation (which would probably happen to anyone they'd bring in there, anyway).
This is where I am at. If everyone is healthy, some combination of Luka/Naji can handle the 10 minutes a playoff game when PJ is not on the court. If everyone is not healthy, I am skeptical we make a deep run regardless of any TDL moves we make.
