PG is somewhat fragile, so we don't need another training room body. He definitely had some good early years, but I don't know how he fits with DAL. Between Luka, Kyrie, PJ, Gaff, DLive, Exum, DJJ and Maxi, there is plenty of offense so PG's contribution would eat into someone else's stats. And I'm not sure he brings anything defensively DAL doesn't already have.
IMO, we can spend whatever resources it would take for PG somewhere else.
I agree with timeline and health concerns, and I don't think there is a reasonable path regardless. I do think you are kind of underselling what PG brings when he is on the court. For a team in need of two-way players he would be a very good fit. We don't have anybody near him offensively not named Luka/Kyrie and he is a high level defender as well.
