The Dallas Mavericks have had an active NBA offseason so far. Unfortunately, not all of that activity has lent itself to improving the team.
Christian Wood was a smart acquisition for the Mavericks. Yes, questions about his defense and character abound. Still, he was too valuable an acquisition for the Mavericks to pass on for the price they paid this summer.
On the other hand, the club lost Jalen Brunson in free agency. He’ll be suiting up for the New York Knicks in 2022-23. For a team that’s light on secondary ball-handling behind the prodigiously talented Luka Doncic, that stings.
Apparently, they’re interested in Collin Sexton as a replacement. Why wouldn’t they be? Injuries robbed him of most of his 2021-22 season.
