My take is not that we should go get a backup PG. My take is rather that a starting-caliber PG, to be played in the starting lineup alongside Luka, should be one of our means to achieve a contending-level starting lineup. Luka has the ball most of the time on offense, but the PG can alleviate the pressure on him big-time (while of course running the team while Luka sits). On defense, Luka guards the SF while the PG guards the PG (duh) and JRich guards the SG.
Ideally, the Mavs' contending starting five looks something like PG-JRich-Luka-PF-KP. So I would regard PG and PF as the last pieces to build that starting five.
