I don't think we are going to see AD at the 5 much once Lively is healthy. Kidd stated yesterday that Gafford or Lively will start at the 5 when we are healthy, AD at the 4 and PJ at the 3. Davis has also been told he will be a 4 here. I personally don't think that is a winning formula, but seems to be what Kidd has promised AD. Ideally AD would play a lot of minutes at the 5 and close as the 5, but that's not practical with this strange roster we have. Honestly how do the Mavs keep Lively off the floor to close every game? Then you are looking at Lively/AD together in crunch time. I'm skeptical of how this will work.
