2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[KillerLeft]

I think the Mavs are developing FN and JG for that very thing. If you want to develop guys you cannot bury them in the depth chart. I hate having Luka, JB, SD, and Dragic (not to mention THJ) all ahead of FN and JG. 

The Mavs of course may not see anything the way I do, but if they believe in FN and JG the way I do, then they need to make room in the roster and depth chart for them to spread their wings. Otherwise move on to other development projects.

Your take is making more sense now, the more info you add. 

I agree that they like Ntilikina and Green, but I'm not sure they like them as much as you do. 

Further, I don't think either of them has any overlap with Dinwiddie/Dragic from a ball-handling perspective. I think even in the best future version of Ntilikina, it's probably best to avoid using him in that role, personally. You might disagree with that. 

I'd say Hardaway is more of a threat to those guys' minutes than Dinwiddie/Dragic, even if both are here. Your reaction to the Dragic rumor was "they have a ton of ball-handling already, so this must mean Dinwiddie is on his way out" and mine was "yeah, they really want more ball-handling." I think this probably stems from the difference in how we view the ball-handling capabilities of Ntilikina, specifically. We'll see how it works out, but my guess is they don't even consider him a lead guard at all. Off-ball only.
