Brooklyn Nets Receive: G/F Reggie Bullock 

Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Seth Curry 

We said we’d make this piece about role players. Yet, here we are, about to type a whole slide about these team’s stars. The hypocrisy.

By contrast, the Mavericks are a one-star show. At least Luka Doncic is one of the league’s brightest stars.
