Just wondering about Marshall and PJ from last night.  I had sort of come to the conclusion that while Marshall has been good with everyone healthy that his skills probably wouldn't be fully utilized when everyone was healthy and therefore a realistic trade piece this summer. 

On the other hand, Marshall started as point guard last night (I  guess it was point as no one else could really dribble).  He had 8 assists and was our one conssisted offensive player last night.  He also has two years left on his contract at 9 million.  On the other hand, PJ looks really awkward trying to dribble and create.  He had 5 bad turover last night.  It seems like you can see the turnovers coming.  He has that go right into the body of the defender type move.  It leads to way too many turnovers.    PJ is also in his last year of his contact next year and what will he be looking for?  20 MIl?  25 Mil?  more?

I am not sure if I want Marshall as a starter but for the first time I started to think if I would prefer him better than PJ moving forward.

I think Marshall's overall game is better than PJ's. PJ tends to disappear at times. Marshall is "Balls to the Wall" every game. His energy reminds me of Russell Westbrook, which means you have to live with some mistakes and turnovers, but the effort is always there. If he can develop into a better shooter from 3, I think the Mavs will have found a jewel of a player.
