Are you saying that the Mavs staff and AD right now know that playing him at the 4 is not going to work? If yes, why not adjust immediately? If the answer is: "Because we have too many good bigs and have to fit everybody in," then that would be making the same point I did: someone is expendable (who that someone is is another question). If the answer is "No, they and AD don't know it by now", then you seem to be contradicting yourself.
I'm not sure what they know or don't. I'm not sure what they think or don't. I suspect that, just like the rest of us who follow the sport, some of them (at least) think often about how much of a difference maker Davis is at center. And yes, I think part of what got us here is that they happen to have access to a lot of quality bigs. I think the other side of that conversation is that they're hoping they'll be able to play two of them at a time in order to get all of their good players on the court.
The rest of the paragraph is exactly what I'm saying. Yes, absolutely "someone" is expendable. I don't agree with the idea that AD makes the most sense as that "someone," that's all. He's the best of them, and one of the main reasons I'm bothering to wonder if the team can find a way to compete this year.
