I've haven't been a big fan of JRich time here, to say the least, but I also think if the Mavs can get a 2nd scoring guard/wing like like DeRozan that JRich isn't a bad veteran defensive minded 2 guard to put in that lineup. You just can't have him as your 2 guard if you're also getting average or below average offense from your small forward. Not in today's NBA, at least. I don't think he'll be very expensive and I like his length. I also think he could have had a down year dealing with the after effects of reportedly a pretty bad case of COVID. I really think a 1-4 of Luka, JRich, DeRozan, DoDo/Maxi is a pretty nice blend of shooting, playmaking and defense where no one in the front court is smaller than 6'6". Getting DoDo's 3P% up to ~38% the last couple of years is a pretty big deal. With KP and/or Maxi as a stretch big, adds enough shooting at the 4 and 5 that it allows you some padding to compensate for DeRozan and JRich.
