2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Smitty]

Who is highlighting the negatives? I see people highlighting facts that his recent body of work has not been good. I also see people highlighting positives and claiming how things might be totally different in Dallas than in Washington. And then I see people responding to those claims.

Lets return to the ball hogging Beal theory laid out in the article. Below are beal stats accross months

October: EFG 39, TS 45, USG 34, FGA: 24
November: 52, 56, 29, 18
December: 53, 56, 29, 19
January: 47, 54, 27, 17

So in reality Beal had by far worse month in October and there is not really any sign that he started ball hogging later in the season as the article claims.

Well the article that F Gump shared, just showed you that SD posted 18.5 points, 7.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 44.1% FG on 14.5 attempts, 37.8% from three on 6.3 attempts.
Doing so in a down year. That's enough reason for me alone to see why they made the trade and come to the conclusion that Dinwiddie being good again is a better bet than KP ever being good for the Mavs, much less playing 50% or more games the rest of his short career. Matter of fact, KP may be out of the league before Bertans contract is up...

For context on the Dinwiddie numbers above... JB this year 16.1 points, 5.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 50.2% FG on 12.8 attempts, 35.7% from three on 3.1 attempts.
