I am surprised people seem surprised by this. Mavs were a bad defensive team and they traded away their arguably best defender without doing anything to replace him. It was very predictable something like this will happen. Irving trade was a half measure. He is a better version of Brunson and Mavs gave SD and DFS for him. Mavs are still not better than last season. Options to improve the team with Wood likely walking in the summer are getting thiner and thiner. They should have traded his expiring contract while there was still a chance.
