Are you looking forward to the season? What are you looking forward to?

"Exum is someone that I see playing SG or PG on an as needed basis."

Your take is probably the prevailing one among Mavs fans and media regarding Exum, but I think it's off by quite a bit. I strongly believe that as long as he's healthy, Exum WILL play, and probably quite a lot, because he's just about the exact PG that Kidd prefers - good ball handler, runs the offense well, excellent at shooting 3s, and a plus defender. The Mavs need more than him at PG (or combo G) because his ability to stay healthy is iffy, but I expect that when he's healthy we will see him play basically every game, and around 20 mpg.

Yeah, Omax wasn't released to make room for an end of the bench player. Exum is about the only guard on the roster who plays defense so he'll be a key rotation player.
