It may just be that JR is at best an above replacement level wing, which may not be bad in your rotation at all IF the stars are there. In Miami he looked like maybe he might be more. In Philly he had stars to play off and he looked solid, not really great. That may be where he lands. solid, not great but a lot better if you have your 1st 2nd and 3rd options in performing.It seems that the Mavs envision a certain type of player partnering with Luka in the back court, and I think they were hoping that J Rich would fill that role. But he clearly hasn't. Maybe he had lingering COVID issues. Or maybe he's just not that good. Agree that he would probably look better alongside three great players.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Mavs decide to move on, one way or another. If they keep him, it's not clear to me that he can be a regular starter, but, as always, I hope for the best.
