When Kyrie comes back, he's going to start. We're not sitting him on the bench while Flagg and Klay are the guards. And I can't see Klay and Irving competing for minutes. So while it's interesting to toy with the idea, I think the Mavs have made plans to have Dlo run point when the season opens. I still think Klay starts and PJ is the one on the bench.
And I don't think that's a bad idea at all.
PJ as a super 6th man isn't the end of the world to me. Especially since we can expect AD to miss at least some time throughout the season. PJ will still probably start around 20-30 games.
