The Mavericks started this offseason by addressing the exact same issues they tried to address last offseason — wing depth. It’s no surprise. Dallas tried to solve their wing depth with ferocity last year — bringing in Josh Richardson, James Johnson, Wes Iwundu and the drafting of rookies Josh Green and Tyler Bey. It says a lot about how last season went that every single one of those names disappointed to some degree. In fact, only Green is returning from that group.
Smartly, the Mavericks changed their approach. Last year, the Mavericks targeted defensive-minded wings that they hoped would blossom on offense next to Luka Doncic.
