You need at least three good offensive players; the Mavs start with two. It’s time to make a change and move Brunson up and the flop to the bench. That’s the only card left to play in this disappointing season. JRich is gone anyway, so I really wouldn’t worry about his ego. My only hope left for the season is that the Mavs don’t end up ceding a lottery pick to the Knicks.
The Mavs also have a top tier historically all-time knockdown 3pt shooter waiting on the bench as well. Mavs need Brunson+THJ to provide that spark. Moving Brunson up to start all but assures a weak bench.
Redick on the other hand can hit 2-3 threes just by standing around, and the spacing he provides should only make lives easier.
I don't know why Carlisle hasn't switched yet. The answer is clear as day for me.
