And even though his shooting averages remained abysmal in CLE, Rubio was viewed as a huge positive in CLE's regular season success before his injury.
Dinwiddie is is making similar money and can provide similar impact. It may not be on a true expiring this summer but some teams could view it that way since only $10M out of the $18.8M is guaranteed in 2023-24. It's not the most ideal but just saying there's a chance the Mavs could actually get something useful out of him if they choose to do so.
First things first, need to find the best way to maximize Dinwiddie so he plays his way into becoming a moveable asset.
Trying to figure out how they deploy this rotation is an interesting exercise that I'm sure is how Kidd and staff are spending their day today.
- 2 of Luka, JB, Dinwiddie
- 2 of DFS, Bullock, Green, Bertans
- 1 of Powell, Maxi, Bertans
Frankie, Burke, Chriss and Brown are spot/fill in guys and Bobi and Theo are mascots
No clue how they attempt to deploy our replacement Latvian and prayers up for DP and Maxi.
