1. Should the Mavs make Klay Thompson the 6th man? Y for Yes, N for No

2. Y I’ve been saying this since before the season started. Never was happy about this signing but have to make the best of it by moving him to the bench at the very least

3. Easy.. firing Jason Kidd

4. Have Luka come off the bench with him 🤷🏻‍♂️

5. He doesn't seem to have confidence in his shot right now

6. No

7. Luka off the bench 😂. He would demand a trade

8. Y

9. He's averaging 14points per game and is more reliable with an open shot than anyone on our bench that could replace him, and despite the word of people lying on Twitter, his defense has not been atrocious.

   No, obviously he should not be benched.

10. But NAJI Cant shoot three

11. Im sure Klay wants to start, however if we move him to the bench for Naji we get better on D. But more importantly if he is the 6th man I think he gets more shots.

12. Klay has came in clutch, u can't just decide to bench him because of one game

13. Yes, he’s matured enough for it… being a veteran.

14. No klay staring five

15. no make is value go up and trade him

16. I’d choose Grimes when we need a fast defender for players like curry, dame, ja

    I’d choose to start Naji the rest of the games

17. klay don't have to buy in its not his choice!

18. No he gets open shots and defense is solid but are bench does need more shot consistency

19. We shouldn’t bench Klay, Luka needs to be more efficient from the field and that’s been our issue since the start of the season.

20. this fans just wants to create issues for klay thompson let him find his rhythm. he will be mocked for going to the mavs if he will be benched.

21. Jason Kidd promised him starting position and that what Golden State did move him to the bench but the problem is Jason Kidd promised Javale Mcgee a starting position also alone with a 3 year $17 million dollars contract, This is Jason Kidd fault

22. Solve the problem Klay just make your shoots😮

23. So this is where we are? Klay has one bad game and we're talking about benching him?

    Really? Smfh….

24. Naji marshal is not shooting great and quitney grimes is to small. If they add a borderline all star 3

25. Derick jones jr should have been the 1st and 2nd options in the off-season as shoes said he was. Pels weren’t resigning Naji so I would have liked a trade for him. But she’s not a poa defender and djj was great. If they would have done that then we would still have a top defense. ( even better with naji included) That’s why to me the whole season depends on grimes being able to be that guy.

26. Klay should start, but only on occasion. He should start 60% of the time, come off the bench 40% of the time.

27. I think he should come off the bench. I say this because between Luka and Kyrie, he just gets lost in the offense! He would strive with Gafford and the boys off the bench!

28. Klay 6th man for sure

29. Y

30. Klay needs to start the reason he’s getting good looks now is because Luka and Kyrie demands a lot off attention and teams need to play help defense . If he comes off the bench players will not need to play help side because either luka or kyrie would not be on the floor and teams could stay true to their man. Klay is getting great looks especially in the okc game he just needs to knock them down.

31. N, if you promised him a starting position you should keep your word!

32. N

    PJ is already shooting mid 20's from three. Naji is shooting lower than that. we need some spacing on the floor.

33. No no no you can reduce his minutes but don’t put him on the bench

34. NNN

35. 11 shot 1 get

36. No

37. LET KLAY START.

38. DINWIDDIE 10 clutch points and solid defense in the 4Q. Give him 25-28 mpg and the green light to be aggressive vs a lifeless corner shooter

39. ADefinite YES. I would suggest Grimes to the starting lineup, and keep Gafford starting. Having a bench of Thompson, Lively, Marshall, Hardy and Maxi

40. No option, TEAM FIRST is a must. Klay either buys in or we move him ASAP.

41. If Klay stays in lineup, the reins must be shortened to 4-5 minutes.

42. Only if it makes the starting lineup more rebound focus other than that he’s a good weapon to start with. Maybe play first 4 mins than rotate him in with the second group to get it spaced out with the second unit.

43. Just leave the guy alone after just one bad game. Toxic fan uttering as if he knows everything

44. P Washington is a good 6th

45. N

46. Um heck no don’t bench him
