Dallas Mavericks trading for James Johnson in three-team deal

The Dallas Mavericks made a shocking move late Friday night. They had already re-signed Trey Burke after an incredible draft night where they added three picks and traded for veteran wing Josh Richardson. The Mavs were shaping up to be an offseason to remember.

After the Burke signing, they had just one roster available. The Mavericks wanted to round out with veterans and were looking for ways to make that happen. Coach Rick Carlisle hinted a trade could be on the horizon, and fans got one.
