If you score say 12 points per game, but cause your team to give up 15...you're a net liability on the court. When DFS left, who was the Mavs stopper? No one...no one at all. This then caused other breakdowns everywhere on defense, and really exposed that the Mavs didn't have a shot blocker. DFS provided value on the floor when he didn't score a point.

DFS's defensive rating dropped from 110 the WCF season to 117 last season, so yes, his defense fell too. Yes, we can all cherry pick advanced stats, but I haven't see a single stat that showed anything but a big fall.
I would go as far to say that both he and Bullock were net negatives last season. Really bizarre to see.
