I agree with this sentiment as a general one-to-one. I rather think some of other kind of trade involving draft picks, or perhaps a multi-team trade might change my mind, but I would rather keep PJs talent if possible.
It will likely be awkward at first, but lineups can exist with both CF and PJ getting appropriate minutes at the 3 and 4. The Mavs might stumble around with the rotations at first, but I would rather that be the case than seeing a talent-loss trade.
