Look at who the Mavs targeted:
Gallo (4)
Covington (4)
Crowder (4)
Wood (I'd argue that he's mostly a 5, but you could talk yourself into him playing 4 a bit)
And they ended up with Johnson (4).
So, I doubt they saw him as redundant with Green (wing - 2/3) in any way, tbh. But, I'm still glad things worked out the way they did.

Well in that case, I'm even more glad that didn't happen. Think I remember he was like 6'4 without shoes.
