Looking at a whole package, he is shooting at low volume, he is not really elite shooter considering all shooting aspects (needs more space and time to shoot it than some other shooters), he is limited defensively. Alltogether, he is still "just" a good bench role player in his late twenties being paid 8 per. He is not even elite number 6 guy compared to some other fellas. Good number 3 player on your team is still way more important. So no, he is not untouchable and Mavs would have easier job replacing him than finding the right number 3 guy.
It is always laughable when they put Seth vs Steph 3PT% side-by-side on TV and say Seth is better shooter.
Yeah, Seth is a nice bench piece but he is definitely far from "untouchable," which is also a laughable notion. I would definitely trade him before THJ, DFS, Brunson, or Kleber. But you obviously don't trade him just to trade him.
Seth ranks in the 41st percentile in on/off court rating despite playing most of his minutes with the starters. Defensively, he ranks in the 28th percentile (63rd offensively). He takes on the THJ role but significantly falls short of THJ's impact.
THJ ranks in the 94th percentile in on/off court rating this season. In his 2 years in ATL, he ranked in the 80th and 92nd. THJ is a legit starter, especially in this system.
