Both DFS and Richardson have been disappointing this year offensively, and neither is shooting well. I keep expecting DFS to come out of the slump and every once in awhile I think he has. He hasn't been as bad as people make him out to be here, but he's definitely not shooting like prime Danny Green, Bowen, whoever (winning 3&D types). Richardson is a bit more versatile than DFS, but honestly I feel like he needs to shoot off the catch better, too.
It's unrealistic to replace both in one season, imo, so if I'm the Mavs, I bet on one of those two to improve next year and replace the other. And, I'd wait until the end of the season to decide so I can make the best choice possible.
Yeah, they have both been underperforming, but the difference is JRich is a better player across the board (except rebounding) and is more likely to find his 3 point shot (has a better history with less spacing). There is a reason DFS is the guy other teams are leaving open.
Honestly, I think THJ should probably replace DFS in the starting rotation now. We have already added Maxi and JRich to the starting lineup and both Luka and THJ have raised there defense to average level. That way DFS could take on more backup minutes at the 4, which we desperately need.
