Absolutely. Saying "We don't need Josh!" could also be interpreted as "We don't need Josh
that much!" One of this season's more interesting realizations is that the Mavs apparently don't need Josh as much as they need Dirk, JET, and Kidd. I'm not sure that this was crystal clear 12 months ago. He's somewhat replaceable which makes the upcoming offseason even more intriguing.
With that being said, we can't afford to miss Josh for a considerable amount of time come playoff time
this season. Even though the team seems to have a better chemistry without him at times, he's still a guy who can constantly score and thus help Dirk and JET on offense. Having three scorers is much better than having two scorers and makes life easier for all three of them in the long run.
