One of the real benefits of getting lucky with Flagg is it just opens up a ton of options. I would love PJ to be a part of the Mavs. His game is a little up and down for my liking. At his best, he is a clear top 100 player providing toughness, size, rebounding, defense, and a lot of glue things. Plus this year his shot improved. I am not 100% that will be his % moving forward. I think most teams will live with PJ taking 5 threes a game too.
The PJ conversation is just really tricky and the Mavs Front office have proven they are not good with these tricky conversations. If the Mavs decide to keep PJ or if no clear trade presents himself, I am fine keeping him. Heck, he may have more value at the trade deadline too. Plus, maybe things change mid year (hint Nico fired or Mavs decide to move AD).
BTW, it is just brutal going to other teams pages and see some one sided Mavs trade with Nico jokes. The sad thing is you can't call them ridiculous.
