first, the mavericks are horridly undersized and are in dire need for defensive bigs, which kuzma and gafford help with. kuzma is a decent rebounder without killing off scoring ability. daniel gafford is a good defender and can also rebound, he is not getting enough recognition at washington. with washington needing guards, the players coming in from dallas helps both sides. tim hardaway being on the bench is not getting enough play time with the amount of potential and ability he has. richaun holmes also does not feel comfortable on the mavericks.
