DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Jason Terry]

That's an interesting perspective.

I'm just operating under the assumption that he's on his way towards spending the rest of his life flourishing as a Korver/Reddick/Robinson type, but yeah, if the shooting is temporary, then he doesn't do much for you.

Right? If all Hardaway and Curry amount to is Robinson and a lesser Herro, well we have a better version of Dragic. All of these players are winning players in the 3 point era. I believe Spoelstra said recently he sees a 6 man rotation late in games. Dragic, Herro, Robinson, Butler, Crowder, Bam. Seems like some would say Dragic Herro Robinson Crowder Bam on the floor would be too small. But it works so it’s not stupid. They’re playing team defense. We have similar personal to do what they do. Nothing wrong with Rick running 3 guards.

...if THJ learns and follows the defensive schemes. It was noted with examples that he did that extremely poorly against the Clippers. Not acceptable in the starting lineup.

I don’t think he cares if he starts. Whatever seems best for the team we will do. He could be the backup 3 if we got someone like Derrick White. I think the point with him is he has bought in to what we’re doing and that’s 90% of team defense. We have several guys bought into our plan just need a few additions

My point was that he evidently hasn't bought in on the defensive end, or just can't do it. If he stays this year and comes off the bench, I will be fairly pleased with that.

Luckily if you are right and he just can’t give us what we want then we can let him walk. We are in a strong position and very flexible
