One article that digs into Dinwiddie, and gives rational (not just wishful) data that might indicate he was better with Wiz than we might notice from stats seen afar. It speaks to Beal's going into a slump, which then he forced things, becoming a massive problem for the whole team.

From the article, SD's stats at the outset, then without Beal after BB became a problem --
15.7 points, 5.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds per game, 41.6% FG on 13.3 attempts, 35.6% from three on 5.6 attempts.
18.5 points, 7.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 44.1% FG on 14.5 attempts, 37.8% from three on 6.3 attempts
If SD can already play at that level (and you would think Luka might be easier to co-exist with), then he's not at all the "damaged goods" we fear the Mavs are going to have to rehabilitate. Which changes things completely, imo.
