In DAL, Dinwiddie is going to be with the 2nd unit. He offers very little when off the ball so his overlap with our lead guards should be minimal unless we're running a very small lineup, think SD/JB/LD/RB/DFS.
I agree on the pick. It will go to offloading either THJ or Bertans. Bertans will have to up his game significantly or a late round first wont be nearly enough to dump him. THJ is the most likely casualty.
My concern is that I think Brunson is at his best when Luka is not on the court. If we put all of Brunson's minutes with Luka, it will dilute his output/value. Also, I don't believe Dinwiddie is going to be happy with the 12-15 minutes Luka/Brunson are not on the court. That means he will likely be playing some minutes with both. That will likely further dilute Brunson involvement. Maybe Brunson will be fine with becoming an undersized shooting guard, but I'm not sure that's the direction he wants to take.
