So the problem with EITHER Lonzo or Rubio, both of whom I like, is Richardson.
Richardson is NOT a shooter. You put ANOTHER non-shooter who prefers to handle the ball on the floor, that makes THREE of them. That's one too many, imo.
IF Richardson can be THE secondary playmaker we've all been screaming for, then the Mavs are in good shape. If he's not good enough at that, then he is not a fit here, imo. Not being good enough as a handler doesn't magically transform him into being good enough as a catch and shoot guy who can work off ball to get shot opportunities to be the type of floor spacer the team needs. This, essentially, is why Delon Wright didn't work here. I'm a little worried that while Richardson is clearly better, he too might be an ill-fitting part on offense. Time will tell.
You want to REPLACE Richardson with Lonzo? I'm listening to that, I think. Luka/Lonzo/Richardson TOGETHER would be a disaster.
