Well, it seems clear as long Kidd is here any non 2 way players will have to play defense unless they are stars like KI or Luka. Seth may be an excpetion because he just one of the most pure shooters ever. They got rid of Wood, want to get rid of THJ. Hardy, who knows? He can't play defense now but is still to raw to say that can't happen and looks like he can become a 25 ppg player.
What I get out of the Miles for Dennis switch is do the Mavs have three 2-way contract to use? The below article seems to think so. Maybe I am not smart enough to understand what they mean. the next paragraph is from the linked article:
As of this moment, the Mavs have two of their two-way contracts accounted for with A.J. Lawson and Mike Miles Jr. Although the Mavs still have a third two-way contract they can hand out without waiving one of the current guys, one rumor is saying that one rookie from a Texas school could be gone in favor of another.
