The San Antonio Spurs are off to a 2-1 start after trading NBA All-Star Dejounte Murray in the offseason. Based on what’s been shown, they will compete hard and have some talent.
One of the helpful veteran players remaining on the Spurs is Josh Richardson, who offers a helpful 3-and-D skill set. Given that he’s 29 and playing on an expiring deal, it would make sense for San Antonio to move him in a midseason trade.
There are plenty of teams that would benefit from acquiring Richardson. Among them is the Dallas Mavericks, who could use another perimeter player who defends and can shoot.
Luka Doncic, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Christian Wood are the clear focal points of the Mavericks’ offense after Jalen Brunson’s departure. Richardson could fit in nicely alongside them.
