Guess so.
Sucks because I think he'd actually provide a consistent spark off the bench.
Maybe, although I don't think it would be via the replacement player vehicle.
I don't think teams are signing these guys with the thought that they are going to be season-long contributors, or even that they are going to play at all except to fill in in an emergency. My understanding is that these are very short-term contracts, and that for one of these players to be promoted to the regular roster would require waiving another player if the roster is already full, as in the case of the Mavs.
I think the idea is to prevent forfeits and shutdowns due to teams' not being able to field enough players, moreso than to provide an influx of talent.
