Yeah I believe THJ is the guy gone. I've gone back and forth on it. 
But I think THJ has more value and arguably the better player but clearly worse on defense. 

If they really planned on him being back I don't think he's off the bench instead of DFS or Kleber. He said he believes he's a starter multiple times and while his attitude his good I don't think he likes being off the bench. I just have never gotten the vibe that's his end game. But he's a team player and will do it for now. 

I also think THJ's market will be much higher than Richardson. I'd suspect JR will get a deal somewhere around his current deal to 15 mill. I think THJ is getting 20 mill. It's a brutal market this summer overall and the shooting is very weak. 

I'm completely good with bringing them both back at this point. But I really don't see it happening. It's been my vibe from the minute we trade for Richardson.

Interesting.   The Mavs have a difficult tightrope.  This team isn't a MLE player away from a championship level team.   And the MLE most years, and probably this year especially, is best suited for a fringe starter or bench guy.   And Dallas has plenty of those.  

I don't believe Collins is a realistic target this offseason.  That just has blowup all over it.    

But what combination is better than keeping both Hardaway and Richardson or keeping one of them?   Holmes from Sacramento and Derozan?  Is that better?  Does that put us closer to a championship?

Dallas has a very tricky offseason up ahead and they really need to come through and make their team closer to a championship contender.  They are not there yet and at this point haven't fully taken advantage of their opportunities.
