      No. PJ shoots even worse than Grant Williams and by all accounts I've heard from Hornets fans he's fat and lazy on defense. And let's be real, Kidd still isn't going to significantly cut Powell's minutes.

      They've gotten better in the paint, but they're still at least 3-4 years away from a legitimate run for a ring. At that point Luka might want out. And I'm a Mavs fan.

    The mavs were the 2nd biggest trade deadline winners behind the knicks. The mavs getting pj washigton and daniel gafford were great pickups especially with gafford. They desperately needed to improve their backup center play and now they got one of the most underrated centers in the league imo

    Their defense is number 2 in the nba when Luka,Kai,DJ,Green, and lively are on the floor together. It’s when they are on the bench that their defense falls off. So this was great for the Mavs as it gives them defensive depth now.

    Finally, someone who gets it on this platform. You are 100 percent correct on why grant had a higher 3-point percentage dude was always wide open then his shot left him for some reason, rumor was he was not used to playing heavy minutes there for he got tired and shot took a hit. PJ and Gaff going to have so much space it's going to be exciting to see how they grow here in Dallas.

    As a Lifelong Local Mavs fan I can personally say this is by far the Deepest roster we have ever had... once we get Exum and Lively back fully Healthy this team is going to be SO scary. I promise you nobody wants to see us in the playoffs, we are going to be such a tough out... we finally have 2 full legit units now. This is a Dangerous Squad. Luka, KY, Hardy,THJ, Green, Exum, DJJ, Washington, Kleber, Lively, Gafford. Thats 11 deep and all of them have the skills and talent to start. So many lineup and rotation options for this Squad now. So excited for this 2nd half and teams Future now... we are about to be Lob City 2.0 with Lively, Gafford, DJJ, Washington and Green

    Three months later into this experiment so, voice from the future, this article was dead on.... they have done and brought everything you described to a "T"! The only thing you didn't see was Gaff as a starter..... and both guys are the type of players who might not score at all and still have a plus over/under rating because they reek havoc on other offenses..... and when they do score, it's a bonus but, for PJ, he is clutch even when his shot is off.... needless to say, they are two more reasons why the Mavs will now play for a Chip against Boston... Good work, sir!!!

I dont even think defense was such a problem , their starting 5 defense passed the eye test,less so when Green/Lively and DJ were not on the floor. Now in theory PJ and Gafford fill that void and its on the coaching staff to implent a sistem
