Hmpf. 2) After listening to THJ's interview, I think he's been partaking of some THC. If he's insistent on being a starter as part of coming back, the Mavs should move on. With his inadequate defense, there isn't room for him to be a starter next to Luka if the Mavs are going to look to improve the starting lineup moving forward.
I'm not so sure we need to take any of the exit interviews too seriously in terms of team direction. Donnie basically plays the same lines every year and sometimes they shake up the starting lineup and sometimes they don't. This feels like a time where they will. In my opinion, Rick's use of KP in the playoffs trumps anything that was said in exit interviews. That kind of feels like him saying that this guy can't do what we're paying him to do.
