Preseason Game 4: Dallas Mavericks (2-1) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (1-3) | 9:30pm EST

With Lively developing his inside game better (I'm liking his jump hook) AD may indeed be expendable. Not wild about him jacking up 3's with zero passes. He's an excellent 5 that wants to play like a 3 or 4, but that keeps PJ off the floor and I'm really liking what PJ/Flagg bring when playing together. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not getting a leadership vibe off AD like you do off Kyrie.

Nembhard continues to impress, despite his size. Getting JJB vibes here.

Strangely, Powell seems to be attacking the basket more aggressively than in any previous seasons. But this is a contract year for him.

Anyone notice a Williams sighting last night? 5 pts, 1 reb in 3 minutes.
