Losing JB stings.
But I just don't think losing him is catastrophic.
I'd even say, if the Mavs get a Clarkson-level player, the Mavs wouldn't miss a beat. JB for me was essential to the Mavs because he can: score on his own unassisted, shoot the three when open, make plays for the team, and handle the ball well. At the moment only Luka and Dinwiddie can do all those things.
If the Mavs do not move to get that 3rd playmaker/scorer/ballhandler, then it's going to be half a season for auditions coming from the group of Dorsey-Frank-Green-Hardy. Although in the end, I can see at least two from that group replacing THJ more than replacing JB instead.
I love THJ, but THJ's days are numbered. And rightfully so. The replacements are in.
