Although right now, Hardaway is in the perfect role here. And this team really needs his offense. He is almost invaluable. Even more so when we are clicking as a team. Brunson is just a smart, tough player who deserves 25-30 minutes a night how he is playing. If both these are true, does the team feel comfortable having Richardson guarding the bigger wings like Boston's or the Clippers of the world? Or is he really suited guarding guards. If this team prefers DFS in that role, it makes resigning Richardson more of a question mark to me.
But all three are playing enough minutes, with a hot hand on any single day getting more of them. Mavs literally have no wing ready to play behind DFS, so if you lose JRich and start THJ, your only reliable bench guy on positions 1-3 is Brunson. Next in line is Burke and then Green. Even if Green really improves, he would still have to play around 20 minutes per game (unless you give those minutes to Burke). As it is, it is great imho. You lose either of those three and you get a big hole in the lineup. Of course it all depends on money. As it is, I doubt THJ or JRich can get more than 60/4 deal.
I am not opposed to move any of them, but I would never just let them walk in FA
