I think that was the initial thought too but now that Timmy looks like he's staying, one of those 3 is going to be the odd man out and I can just see Kidd leaning heavily on Seth because of the better ball handling.
I was thinking earlier this week how easily this season can shift into a situation where the front office sees Hardy as expendable in a high end trade. Imagine the Mavs/Timmy/Seth all playing pretty well and the Cavs struggling and make Allen available and the cost is Hardy/1st plus filler. I can easily see a world where by February the Mavs are looking hard at deals like that.
