The 2022 WCF team really took off when Din came in and he became the third ballhandler.
He should be much better on Dallas than he was last year.
This is the last piece they needed. They still aren't a perfect team but they're better than last year (if healthy), IMO, and the sky is the limit.
Great work Nico.

Thats not what Spencer thinks. He came back to the Nets with a very entitled attitude, I could see the same thing there, although maybe finals without him humbled him a little.MavsDirk41 wrote:bubonicphoniks wrote:Bingo.

Hardy will battle Grimes for the scorer role off the bench that Hardaway filled for the Mavs. Spencer will battle Exum for the backup point guard/ball handler spot for when Luka sits or Irving misses time. You know Irving will miss time throughout the season with nagging injuries. This is a decent move by the Mavs. He will be better in Dallas than he was in LA last year.
Very good analysis. Also he holds the ball too much and dribbles at the top of the key surveying. Not very good at setting up team mates.cupcakesnake wrote:Dinwiddie is talented, just not talented enough to play the role that suits his skill set. Dinwiddie gives you one thing: off-the dribble shot creation. He gets downhill, operates well in the pick & roll, and is capable of making all kinds of playmaking reads and tough shots.
He just doesn't do it well enough. Zero track record of Dinwiddie being an efficient offensive player. We've seen him in big roles and small. In a big role he can put up numbers, but needs so many possessions to do so. In a smaller role, he's not a good enough shooter (33% on career 3-pointers). He's okay at shooting wide-open 3s (40% over the past 3 years), but really bad at pull ups (31%). This sucks because he loves shooting pull ups and seems less enthusiastic about catch & shoot looks. His defense is also straight up bad in basically every way.
He's an extra ball handler who can soak up possessions if your team is super desperate. I don't see what role he can play on a good offensive team. He's injury insurance for Dallas. He's also 30-years old so it's time to stop waiting for him to get better at anything.

You mean Powell.
He's the weak link.
The Lakers made it not work by not making him a priority. Oh, well, he's in a better place with the Mavs.TimeisIllmatic wrote:Thought he'd play better with the Lakers coming back home but unfortunately just didn't work out. DAL is a good landing spot with familiarity already.

Should just cut him and re-hire him as an assistant coach. He's definitely the biggest waste of a roster spot along with Lawson and Omax but at least they still somewhat develop. Powell is in essence a glorified cheerleader but everyone loves him - as long as he doesn't touch the floor.
