To be clear, that was never my argument. And I also happen to think the Mavs biggest need is 3D wing. But it has nothing to do with who starts.
They need another wing to match up with the Clippers (and Celtics) as a small-ball four. So, RoCo wouldn’t replace DFS. He and DFS would combine replace Powell when the Mavs go small and Porzingis is the five. Doesn’t matter who starts.
So again, the point of the post was to (1) point out how well DFS is playing and how valuable he is to this team ...and (2) to throw a little shade on a poster or two who think Covington would be some massive upgrade to be coveted over the guy we have.
In my view the Mavs could use both. But DFS is no slouch.

The Mavs are going to need THJ or replace him with a better 6’ 6ish wing. That’s going to be tough. They just have to hope Doncic can get him lots of catch & shoot opportunities.
IMHO, upgrading THJ doesn’t mean they don’t still need another wing. They need THJ + DFS + ?
