The Dallas Mavericks traded for Josh Richardson in the offseason. They sent out one of the best shooters in the league in Seth Curry to get JRich and a second-round pick. The Mavs had their sights set on improving their defense and taking the next step, but things have not gone according to plan.
Dallas is seventh in the Western Conference and facing the play-in tournament. They have moved up to 14th in defensive rating on the season, but it is not reflecting in the standings.
