If the Mavs plan to go back to the 48 minute center split between Lively and Gafford and play AD mostly at the 4, PJ just becomes a luxury we can’t afford. Naji is a better 3 than PJ (as are other roster options) and Flagg gets the rest of the minutes. I’m afraid PJ’s days are numbered. If Nico doesn’t move him while he has value, even for a pick and an expiring, that would be malpractice. I wouldn’t go with the AD at the 4 plan, but it’s too late to turn back now. Top remaining priorities should be to extricate the team from the Klay and Martin contracts and deal PJ for at least 50 cents on the dollar.
