Your observation that what they need is a true PG, with Hardy not being good enough so getting confined to the SG mix (where there are many better options) also makes sense. And I would combine that with the addition of Christie -- he's forced his way into MAJOR minutes which then has a domino effect on the minutes for everyone else who might have gotten minutes at SF or SG.
However, as they get healthier (hopefully), it sure does look like Hardy may continue to be the odd man out.
It sure would help if Exum can go tonight.
I meant he's small for a SG at 6'3. Every other SG on the roster is 6'5+. He's the smallest on the roster besides Kyrie at 6'2.
I'm with you on hoping Exum can go tonight. I fear that Kyrie won't be playing due to it being a back-to-back and logging 40 minutes last night. If neither can go, the Hardy fans might get their wish. Lot of Dinwiddie, Williams, and Hardy minutes as the Mavs limp into the break.
