I agree that Curry signing was one of the best moves the Mavs have made in recent years, but I disagree that this specific move is inconsequential.
Redick can stand in a corner and spot up. That's all the Mavs are asking. Last year when he played starter minutes he averaged 16 ppg on 45% from 3.
During this weird year playing a backup role, he's averaging 9ppg on 36% from 3, but since Feb he's been at 46% from 3.
I don't see Redick getting worse playing next to Luka.
While losing Curry was tough, Richardson has turned it around on O and his defense has been a revelation at times, making that trade more stomachable. I view this Redick trade a bit of an add-on to that one. So now the Mavs have the Curry shooting AND the defense we've wanted since last year.
