JRich was brought as a third man yet he takes least shots since his sophomore campaign, trailing both Brunson and THJ, besides the two stars. He is not even closing games on most nights, even when he goes 5-5 from three. And fans, at least majority of them, for sure don't really appreciate his signing. Even media thinks he is having another season where he regressed. So a change of scenery might do him good as Mavs situation certainly didn't raise his trade value. THJ and Brunson could obviously feel they deserve to be starters.I would say there’s a better argument that J Rich was brought in as a better fitting piece than Curry for our team building strategy of being better defensively. The “3rd guy” thing seems more of a made up fan idea. Unfair to both him and Hardaway. Fans and media perception don’t matter. If all 3 of those guys are happy and worried about the team winning and not what they “deserve”.......then i don’t see any problem with the dynamic. None of them are superstars, they all have their warts
