Dinwiddie was never like that. If he was ice cold he found other ways to affect the game while he was here. Whether that be facilitating or defending.

Have to disagree with that last word.  Dinwiddie has never been a good defender, and he was particularly bad here.  

I'm not disagreeing that Timmy would be a much more useful player if he could provide some level of playmaking, but the real goal needs to be bringing in a legit two way player.  Once that happens we have much less need for a Timmy or a Dinwiddie.  So I am not terrible interested in spending assets to convert Timmy into a Dinwiddie like player because in the long run neither are necessary, and in the short run Timmy will do.
