I think there is actually questions about it.
I think Luka,THJ even if folks don't like it) KP are lock to be startes, DFS are close to that too, leaving one spot for many options.
I don't think there will be one binnedas a starter with Richardson, Maxi & DP rotating in it
Disagree. Richardson is the lock. DFS/Maxi/Powell and maybe Johnson are the options at the final spot. Of course, we won't know for sure until KP returns and even then, everyone will have to be healthy (and when does that ever happen).
We have 3 SG on the roster. THJ, Richardson and now Terry. Richardson will battle with THJ for starting minutes. THJ is most likely to start and I do not see that change but richardson will get siginificant minutes even more than curry. DFS is lock on SF position. Johnson and Green will get minutes and rotate. Bey will be in g league. On PG we have Luka Brunson and Burke. I think to me its clear they have solidified depth on the SG and SF with this offseason. So far at least.
Do you believe RC to be the stupidest coach in the NBA?
Richardson is the Mavs' third-best player after Luka and KP. Don't even try to argue THJ, a single-skill player, over him. If the Mavs do not start Richardson given the roster they have, then the Mavs have the most abjectly stupid coaching staff in the NBA, period. There's no "locked in" except Luka and KP.
Richardson may eventually beat THJ for starting job. But he wont play SF, he is far better as SG.
Its either THJ or Richardson on SG. One thing is for sure, they will play significant minutes both of them, it will be a healthy competition.
Johnson and Green will provide depth to DFS on the SF.
