It's eye-opening that one of the highest paid players in the league had slightly less of an impact on this team's efficiency than a two-way rookie playing PG.

But see, I agree and I don't. I agree with your point, but I don't find it surprising, because I feel like what we're clearly seeing is that without a PG, nobody can really shine. 

We have a long history of being spoiled with PG's in Dallas, relatively speaking. For all of the Nelsons' faults (both senior and junior), they placed a high value on that position, and I think we're starting to see why.

I think if you dropped AD onto a team with better guard play, better ball-handling and facilitation, you'd be like "oh...that's why everyone thinks he's great." 

Now, if the point is "well Dallas doesn't have one, so there's no point in keeping AD around while they look for the next one" then I agree, but that doesn't mean I'm ready to jettison AD just because. If moving him doesn't fill that hole, then I'd be of the mind to keep him, hoping I can fill it by trading something else, because you never know - find the right guy with enough of this team still intact and you might have a good team on your hands almost overnight. I really feel that way.
