But, I know that you feel strongly that the team should not be thinking that way (or at least I think I know that - maybe that's what I'm getting wrong about your takes).
If you don't think they're a "win now" team, is there not a little value in exposing Chriss to important minutes (and Green, for that matter) for learning purposes?
Or, is your thinking that Chriss will never be good enough, so thinking like that in his case is a waste of time?
I can respect any/all of that, I just want to make sure I understand.
Chriss isn't the answer. He is the current default. I wouldn't be concerned about his experience, but in finding his replacement.
That said, having a young backup with potential is better than an old backup on the way out - all other things equal. At least where the Mavs are on the competitive curve, currently.
