Its really not worth debating. Lively is not our 2nd most important player. He is a 19 year rookie who is a decent rebounder and mostly a beneficiary on the offensive end based on Luka and Kyrie's penetration. You may be able to argue he's our 3rd most important player considering our defense and rebounding issues. With that being said, we need to upgrade the 4 and we need a vet center not named Powell, imo.
First of all, i said it jokingly, maybe you missed that and 2nd, you can't be watching this game and following Mavs entire year thinking Lively is not one of the most impactful players on the team? +9 On/Off and opponents shooting only 55% against him around the rim.
3rd most impactful player, i can see that. I'm not taking anything away from Lively.
