I think it is just a matter of perception. People expected JRich to be a little short of a superstar guy, scoring 20 points per game and playing excellent defense. To be honest, I also though he will be much better offensively than he is. So, in this regard JRich is a dissapointment and in need of an upgrade for that star 20 ppg defender.

However, if you disregard expectations and salary, JRich is better than DFS. I think both are very good players to have around and I would like to keep both. But, unfortunately, Mavs need more to come to that contender status.

A 20 ppg defender = max superstar that costs 3 FRP’s. The Jrue Holidays of the world that there’s maybe 1 or 2 available in an offseason. It’s unrealistic to think J Rich needed to be that. Same for DFS. Want to upgrade those guys without sacrificing defense? Prepare to pay max and 3 FRP’s(which we don’t have). If we sacrifice defense we are definitely not winning a championship(source: Lakers championship still shows D trumps O when it matters most). We don’t even have enough D as it is 

The whole entire league is looking for perimeter defenders who can score. You cannot have enough of them. 

We can’t miss on the next major trade. Until then we should make do with what we have and add on the fringes
