One major positive is that Mavs back up 5 could be starting 5 on other teams. Mavs have the luxury of having enough key players that if Kyrie or Luka is out for any reason they can still win games. Many other teams don’t have that option. If Shai is out for 10 or more games OKC is a play in team. If Curry is out Golden State is a lottery team. You can check that for almost every team except the Celtics.
PJ Washington has to be an elite role player like how derrick white is for the celtics. mavs has no legit 3rd option last ssn and pj was considered to be that guy. now that klay is here PJ's scoring will not much be needed and his role will turn into DJJ where he's gon be the defensive liability covering up klay and must be able to knockdown threes everytime he has the ball.
@@iMacaroniCheese You're very knowledgeable about the Mavs. Our issue is PJ can't shoot 30% from three and be a starter. Celtics had 5 starters who all could average 15PPG+. PJ's the least skilled starter with Luka/Kyrie/Klay/Lively. I'd experiment with Melvin Ajinca before PJ
This is easily the best Mavs team since 2011, and the best of the Luka era. Luka needs to be close to 100% healthy for the postseason and Dallas will have a good shot to at least make it back to the Finals.
Honestly all the hate on Timmy was justified because he was way too damn inconsistent set alarm cold streaks and then just out of nowhere at morning Pointe game when we don't need it

Dalls projects as a better team than last imo.
@@cleokey 💯percent with you
I’ve been WAITING, glad you guys had Kirk on too
@@Sled27don Kirk is so awesome 💪

That’s true. I didn’t really think of the fact that PJ won’t have so much pressure to score, and can focus on more on defense
@@Velveteenvision has to be an elite one especially with the line up at the starting five

Did that mfr just said Joker is better than Luka by a margain? WTF!!???
It’s true though. Luka is incredible, he might take over top spot from Joker this year
On paper yes. It will all depend on their health and how Klay fits.
@@Nix-qq5je def agree. i think his offensive fit will be divine. curious if they can insulate him properly on defense tho in some lineups
@@HardwoodKnocksNBA
there will probably games where klay would have to come off the bench and then finish games. Same with Lively
Once Klay accepts the 6th man roll it will work. I’m not saying it can’t work if he’s a starter, we won’t know until we know.
