This is what puzzles me about the trade for Reddick.

On one hand Mavs FO loves their team because of the high power offense potential when completely healthy.
But they trade two defenders that could be needed as insurance or in certain situations like you mention leaving us somewhat vulnerable on the defensive end.

I just didn’t see the need to make that trade. The added offense is a luxury but we have very little chance of advancing in the POs if DFS, JRich or Maxi are out for any reason during the POs considering the players we might face. And we give up a pick on top of it.

Just seems like the risk wasn’t worth the potential reward to me.
