I worried that they would turn Johnsons expiring and THJ expiring into... THJs new contract.

Also here's where I have a problem with the Redick trade
How many guys do we have to keep trying to hide on defense come playoff time?
This is why we struggle already too many non defenders in the rotation. Would have preferred combo guards like Hill or Teague who can offer a combination of shooting, defense and ball handling as opposed to Redick.

There’ll be issues on defense, for sure. The Mavericks will have to devise ways to hide him on bad shooters, and there might be matchups where Redick will struggle to get minutes. And there’s the issue of his current heel injury. But overall this should help the Mavericks. James Johnson and Wes Iwundu weren’t playing at all, and Redick brings a skill Dallas desperately needs.
